I've been a big fan New Zealand designer Jane Denton for several years, having first interviewed her on the blog back in 2013. Creating unique textile art that is lively and fresh but also timeless, Jane is making a name for herself not only here in NZ, but around the world. Her work has been featured on many top global blogs, and can be seen in the homes of leading designers such as US stylist Emily Henderson.
Using wool or cotton stitched onto canvas, Jane says "I really love creating something beautiful and bringing a little bit of happiness to people's homes." As a proud owner of two Jane Denton artworks, I can say that they've brought an enormous amount of happiness into ours!
Working hard at her craft over Summer, Jane has just released a stunning new series, and I'm delighted to share it with you today. The five new artworks bring with them all the texture and delicacy of previous ones, but with a more sophisticated and refined look. Achieved by using cotton rather than wool, and some very subtle metallic threads stitched over some of the lighter colours, the pieces are exquisite. I love the softer palettes which have hints of silver and gold, the boldness of the blues tones and of course the large black on white piece is incredibly striking.

To celebrate the new launch, Jane has offered to give away a stunning Arrows Artwork to one very lucky reader! The artwork is valued at $485 NZD and is unframed.

The series was shot at the beautiful LET LIV store in Wellington, styled alongside their gorgeous Scandi-inspired homewares and furniture. All of the artworks are limited editions (usually 10-20 editions available for each design), and have been hand-stitched by Jane. Available to purchase online with worldwide shipping, framing is an option for customers in NZ and the US. The new series is also available to purchase from the LET LIV store, in a choice of white or timber frames. The Trestle Desk below is by Company.
