About the artist
well known as a prominent designer and textile maker, Morris was a key contributor to the enduring legacy of the Arts and Crafts movement, creating superb late 19th-century embroideries. She found inspiration in nature, describing landscapes and seascapes with jewel-like metaphors. Birds, an enduring fascination for her, are evident in her sketches and designs.
She led a contented life at Kelmscott, surrounded by a small animal menagerie, while cherishing simple pleasures like reading, gardening, and bike rides. According to Bernard Shaw, her personality juxtaposed "fire and ice".
