Cognissart – Hand embroidered images inspired by the natural beauty of the Peak District.
Cognissart – Fine Art in Stitch. Artist Alison Wake creates evocative landscape art through the medium of stitch. Inspired by the Peak District scenery surrounding her home she paints with thread and yarn.
She was first inspired to experiment with embroidery by a family heirloom – a tiny freehand embroidery by her paternal grandmother depicting bluebell woods near the family home in Yorkshire. In emulating her technique Alison found the perfect medium to express her love of the landscape around her now.
