I am a Textile Artist in the UK, Dorothy Russell, producing work by painting, printing, piecing, patchwork and quilting though rarely in a traditional sense. I have gained recognition and awards as a textile artist and my Portfolio page is the library of my principal work though as an artist, I take inspiration from many sources, including the natural world, politics, history and the sea.

I am a Textile Artist living in North Wales, UK. Textiles have been the love of my life since I was a child. Exhibiting my Textile Art whilst delivering talks to interested groups, is about sharing! Occasionally I accept commissions for hangings and am often asked to teach Quilting workshops. Sailing Kora, our Rustler 36, around Anglesey during the summers, I find an island full of inspiration for my work.

A steady breeze, a gentle sea, sunshine and a quilt’ what more could a girl ask for?… The tactile and visual qualities of fabrics and yarns combined with the textural surfaces developed through piecing, layering, manipulating, painting and embellishing… are intoxicating
