A professional artist, Lorna uses a mixture of handmade paper, paint and embroidery to create unusual landscapes and seascapes. She first paints the surface as if it is a canvas and then uses a sewing machine as a `paint brush', mixing silk and cotton threads to reflect the changes of light. Varnish protects the surface so that glass is not required. The edges are treated to produce an aged effect. |
