I recently had the opportunity to visit an exhibition by Gillian Travis at the Bramble Patch. It was a wonderful exhibition filled with vibrant colour and a variety of different types of textile work. The pieces were absorbing and filled with rich details and content, as they captured the essence of holiday memories.
Gillian is a textile artist who lives in the UK and travels widely for pleasure and teaching. Her work is developed from the many photographs she takes while on her travels. It is contemporary and combines paint, print, felt stitch and embellishment.
It seems best to let the pictures speak for themselves. If they wet your appetite more can be seen at

Lots of colour that's for sure. I like the cityscape one - maybe stronger in the design side. Interesting to learn about new-to-me artists from all over the world.
