Chloe Giordano

Chloe Giordano is a British based illustrator who creates hand drawn illustration but most notably hand stitched embroidery.

Giordano lives and works in Buckinghamshire surrounded by the countryside that inspires her work. In 2011 she graduated from university with a degree in illustration kick starting her career as an illustrator and textile artist.
She is heavily inspired by nature creating small stitched illustrations of animals such as rabbits and deer. These are very detailed and use a variety of colours to create a gradient in the colour of the illustration giving the impression of shading and tone.

She uses myriad cotton and simple coloured fabric in an embroidery hoops to create her work.
Her pieces are extremely small, sometimes as small as a thimble, making her pieces very impressive and dainty.  Using intricate stitching she is able to create charming textiles illustrations that appear as though they come alive.

I have been inspired by Chloe Giordano to develop my own natural illustrations into textile samples including both machine and hand embroidery in a similar style to Giordanos work.
