A mixed-media artists, Livia works at the intersection of paint, patchwork and embroidery to create work with impact and wonderment. It is her explorative nature as an artist that makes her work so unique, looking at thew light and the shade of references to achieve beautifully detailed and intricately threaded results.
Livia’s piece, Hampton Embroidery, is a defining part of the Arcadian Thames collection. An exquisite blend of pattern, threaded with storytelling, it pays homage to Jacobean embroidery and the heraldic beast statues that decorate Hampton Court Palace, the embroidery’s namesake.
Brought to life like a tapestry of old, it is Livia’s bold storytelling capabilities, through visual mediums, that has captured the old and new in a vine-like swirling of colour, creatures and craftmanship.
