HI AND WELCOME
My name is Sam and I’m a mixed media artist – with a huge love for the theatre, textiles and all things creative – based in the South East of England. Drawing With Stitches is my way of combining two of my many loves – drawing and sewing – by using the stitch as another form of mark making, and (when the pieces are not just pure stitch on white cotton) textiles as the palette…and my mixed media sculptures combine all my creative urges …costume, theatre, sculpting, story telling, creating….playing…take a look at the sculpture category.
My first Drawing With Stitches exhibition, was a huge success, which completely blew me away, as I had no idea how people would react to them….but the response was wonderfully positive and overwhelming! The pictures flew off the walls ! Thankyou Jereme for organising it all for me – I’m too fuzzy headed to organise myself! Women in particular were drawn to the pieces and did the majority of the buying, but quite a few men also bought them, often as gifts for female friends or partners ( or wife to be in one instance, as a wedding gift, which was beautifully touching, thankyou!). It was wonderful to actually meet the people who took possession of my little creations ( something that is not always possible when working through galleries).
To everyone who took a little creation away… I hope they continue to make you smile and to those who have bought them from other galleries and I never had the opportunity to meet you…thankyou!
Fret not old friends who love the bags, jewellery ( Ruby Trinket ) mixed-media sculptures, ink drawings, paintings and other creations…I will still be making those too….I can’t sit still!

oh Sam I am just stunned at your gorgeous art. Having spent 20 odd years ‘sewing ‘ for a living combining it with art I just wish I had time /energy now to do more [not like yours !! ][seeing I now have a superb machine as well as all my old ones.] gosh wish I could give you the boxes of fabrics and bits and bobs I have just languishing in cupboards.
[ps I had to give up due to illness] I can still paint in oils though. not so demanding] cheers Gini.
Hi Gini, thankyou so much for your lovely comment….i don’t get to sew on the machine as much as i would like either – due to illness too – but love it when i do! i looked up your art on red bubble…it’s gorgeous, you can tell by the wonderful use of colours and their textural qualities that you love fabrics and have had a lot to do with them! beautiful!Will go back and have another look now! thankyou , sam.
