Needlepoint Designers | Margaret Murton

Margaret Murton's needlepoint designs are influenced by the gardens of the great country houses and parks, and the rich textiles and tapestries of the Elizabethan period. The English landscape features prominently in her painting too. Her technique of painting translucent forms onto old wooden pannelling means that the graining and images emerge one from the other, and this gives the work a textural quality like old tapestries.
