Hailed by Small Business Saturday UK as one of the most talented artists they\u2019ve ever come across, Kent-based painter Emily Tull has forged an enviable reputation for herself over the last 20 years \u2013 most recently for her embroidered images.<\/p>\n
Originally specialising as a painter in her Fine Art degree, it was only whilst stitching hessian onto a wooden frame that she had a light-bulb moment that moved her to stitch across the canvas itself.<\/p>\n
Today she creates portraits and wildlife artworks by hand-stitching onto vintage and recycled materials. Her contemporary and versatile style of embroidered imagery has been recreated onto cards, limited edition prints, tote bags and cushion covers.<\/p>\n
A regular participant in solo and groups shows, mainly in Kent and London, Emily has also won several awards. In 2017 she won the Kent Creative Award \u2013 Visual Arts (Non-Digital). She won first prize for \u2018I Am Here\u2019 in The Brain and Mental Health Exhibition at UCL in 2015, and her artworks have been displayed in the Mall Galleries Royal Academy Summer Show and been shortlisted in the Winter Pride Prize and the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize. In 2014 she was a contestant in the Sky Arts Portrait Artist Of The Year competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
