Hi, I’m Jamie!

I’m a self-taught embroidery artist with a love of old photographs, found postcards and giving forgotten images a new lease of life.

I’ve always been drawn to things that spark a memory or make me curious. My work brings together vintage imagery, hand embroidery, colour and a little bit of sparkle, often with an unexpected twist.

How it started

I began working with old photographs and postcards back in 2014, collecting images that caught my eye and finding ways to give them new life.

What started with embroidery and collage gradually grew into an ongoing exploration of found imagery. Over the years, I’ve experimented with miniature collages, stitched portraits, rainbows, and cross-stitch versions of familiar video game characters on vintage postcards.

I’m interested in the stories that images hold, the memories they bring back, and how something old can become something completely different with a few stitches.

A little bit of everything

My practice is always evolving. Some days its about carefully stitching into a photograph; other days its about trying an idea simply to see what happens.

I’m drawn to nostalgia, childhood memories, gaming, colour and the slightly strange or unexpected. I like letting each image lead the way rather than sticking to one particular style.

You’ll find a mixture of finished pieces, ongoing projects and experiments throughout my work. No two images are the same, and thats part of the fun.

Thanks for being here

Whether you’ve followed my work for years or stumbled across it for the first time, i’m glad you’re here.

Have a look around, explore the work, and see if something catches your eye.
