About Janet Comeau

Janet Comeau has been an avid landscape photographer and fabric craftsperson for many years. It’s only recently (since moving to The County) that these two passions came together in the form of cross-stitched landscapes.

Focusing on rural scenes where there is a strong dynamic between land and sky, Janet’s embroidered landscapes start with a photograph that is then converted to a pattern and stitched on 18ct Aida cloth (18 stitches per inch) with cotton thread.

The resulting effect is a work that appears photographic from a distance and where the stitch work is only apparent on closer inspection.
