Rebecca Goldthorpe
About the Artist
Rebecca is a nature-lover, wanderer and gatherer of pretty things. A field-larker who is
deeply inspired by the natural world and the
gentle rolling beauty of the English landscape.
She is especially moved by the overlooked and
ignored beauty of our common native plants.
Particularly those found in liminal spaces such as on field boundaries and in hedgerows.
She frequently uses her natural finds - such as
grasses and seed heads, within her artwork.
Rebecca has an interest in using many art
techniques but she primarily works with pen
and ink or a needle and thread.
She works in a sustainable manner making use
of recycled materials where possible
acknowledging that we all have a responsibility
to protect our natural world and create as small
a footprint as we can.
These are dip-pen and black ink illustrations of a native British grass specimens. It was gathered on a meadow walk one warm autumn day last year.
It is drawn on a quality sheet of off-white handmade, deckle-edged cotton rag paper.
To reflect the fragile appearance of the plant, it is framed in a minimalist style using a magnetic wooden frame.
