Andrew Johnson paints with stitches. “I start my pieces with a sketch. I draw every day,” says Andrew. “Then using a stitch program, a sewing machine and a stylus, I place each and every stitch in the design. Essentially directing the patch of the sewing machine needle. The backgrounds are fabric which I paint in acrylic. The frames I make from recycled wood or antique frames which I dismantle and re-size.”

His work is colorful, whimsical, and happy. “I get inspiration from everywhere including my garden, my cats and other artists,” Andrew explains. “I am thrilled that I get to make and sell my work for a living! I worked for many years at a sportswear company designing embroideries for them but left there 14 years ago to pursue my dream to be a self-employed artist.”
