From a childhood spent in the Kent countryside, nature has always played a major part of the Julia van den Bosch's life. She then spent time flying on Concorde, chasing moon shadows and seeing nature's marvels from the edge of space, but decided to rediscover the smaller, equally miraculous marvels that lay within her own garden. She found hand embroidery was the perfect way for her to express the beauty of nature in all its sumptuous detail, textures, shapes and colours and it became her great passion to broider her findings. She lives happily with her family of animals in an old cottage in Surrey.
