Victoria Rose Richards

I am Victoria Rose Richards, a 24 year-old autistic artist who creates embroidery landscapes in South-West Devon, UK. After going through a lot of depressive patches in recent years, I figured a big contributor to them was boredom and decided to get a new hobby; I saw some embroidery landscapes online, got out my grandmother’s old tin and pulled out some greens and blues to have my first try… then I never stopped! In living in the countryside in a place of natural beauty, I am surrounded by inspiration for my pieces in the endless fields and meadows, lush forests, winding rivers and reaching moorland. Now, four years after starting, I’ve specialised in aerial views and use a combination of stitches on felt sheets to create landscapes based on the Devon countryside.
