Victoria Rose Richards is a gifted embroiderer whose masterpieces are taking over social media. The 21-year-old artist uses vibrant colors to create her embroidery inspired by cultivated farmland. She suffers from Asperger’s syndrome, and due to her autism, the South West Devon-based artist has sensory sensitivity and the “world is high definition around her.”
“To me, everything around me is emphasised, so I guess it makes sense that I perhaps emphasize things like colour in my art too, as it seems natural to me,” the artist told Bored Panda in an interview.
She has always been an artsy type, however, her embroidery journey started when she saw some beautiful embroidery landscapes from other artists.
“I picked some nice blues and greens out my grandmother’s old embroidery tin in October 2018 and had my first go, and I haven’t been bored since,” she added.
She admits that she occasionally uses Google Earth to get inspiration, however, her landscapes are all made up in her head.
“My aerial pieces aren’t true to life or replications of real places—I tried one of those recently and didn’t enjoy it at all, it removes the imagination element and I just want to be able to do whatever I want,” she added.
