Art is half craft and half vision


Cat Frampton is a textile artist, a stitcher of tiny birds, a sketchbook user and a painter. 

She also is a farmer, who is passionate about nature, and the co-founder of the Society of Embroidered Work.

Based in Devon, on the eastern edge of Dartmoor, her work is deeply rooted in the natural world around her. The birds and the places depicts are drawn from observation, with all of her work starting in sketchbooks.
A holiday drawing of a oystercatcher lead to a ongoing series of pictures, all trying to capture the peace of a quiet view across a still sea. 
A swallow sweeping across a Dartmoor meadow above the backs of her cows, a kestrel hovering over the open moor or a hedge full of sparrows, all these things lead from sketchbook embroidered picture.

Sketchbook projects 

  

Since the 29th of December 2015 Cat has kept a daily journal of the weather.
From hot sunny days to sleet or snow, from Dartmoor to Zagreb, every day she sketches the weather. 

She he has also got an ongoing project drawing all of the species of bird that live on, feed from or migrate to her small Dartmoor farm. So far, she has observed over 60 different species!

Commissions for sketches, paintings or embroideries are welcome.

6 years of daily weather drawings! Wherever I am, whatever the weather I sketch something that shows what that day held. Rain, more rain, fog, bright blue skies… over 2000 sketches with only one day missed (added in later!)
