Our creative journey
Delve into the unique methods and inspiring processes that bring Natalie Goodman's textile art to life. Discover how sketches transform into vibrant stitched pieces, driven by a deep connection to nature.
The canvas of fabric
The foundation of our art begins with painting fabric. This crucial step prepares a unique background, setting the tone and texture for the imagery that will later emerge through meticulous stitching and development. Each piece starts with a carefully crafted canvas of colour and design.
From concept to creation
Every artwork embarks on a journey from an initial idea, often captured in a sketch or photograph. This visual inspiration is then translated onto the painted fabric, where it is brought to life through intricate stitching. This process allows the initial vision to evolve into a rich, tactile piece of textile art.
Inspired by nature's palette
My artistic choices are deeply rooted in the natural world. Nature and the vibrant colours of our world serve as endless sources of inspiration, influencing the textiles, hues, and techniques I employ. Through each artwork, I aim to convey the beauty and serenity found in our environment.
Embark on your own textile journey
For those beginning their exploration of textile art, my advice is to develop your process through practice. Experiment with different styles and techniques to discover what truly resonates with you. The journey of creation is as rewarding as the final piece.
