The Art of Annemieke Mein: Wildlife Artist in Textiles: Text by the artist

Annemieke is a textile artist extraordinaire. Her love for nature pervades both her text and images, drawing the reader into that secret world that belongs to the creature alone.

Her book is suffused with a gentle, beautiful, intensity; the pages are alive with butterflies, mayflies, moths, dragonflies, birds, grasses and flowers - all stitched with a loving eye.

Although simple materials such as silks, wool, denim, taffeta, Dacron, rabbit fur and other textiles are employed, her textile creations are beyond compare, capturing the capricious joy and intimacy of nature’s loveliness.

Pictured are wall hangings, standing art and wearable art, such as the lovely ‘Lepidoptera’ moth in green silk, which unclips to form a necklace and headpiece.

Her book leaves one almost speechless with delight — this is world class art.
