Gently Crafting Sunshine is about creating moments of light, freedom, and self-expression.
A R T I S T S T A T E M E N T
When life is at its best, it feels like I’m gently stitching moments together. Each movement is harmonious and rhythmic—allowing space for inspiration and reinterpretations. Subtle shifts in texture and tension echo the nuances of memory and feeling.
This collection explores the joy found in colour, movement, and the transformative power of sunshine—how light can shift mood, space, and energy.
Vibrant, urban-inspired works capture the essence of self-expression and light. The butterfly symbolizes the freedom to emerge and soar, reminding us of the potential to create our own sunshine—crafting warmth and light in our lives.

Niki McDonald is aka Tapestry Girl, her contemporary needlepoint tapestries explore the urban landscape and experience. ‘Faces, spaces and attitudes,’ are all themes in work which often depict strong women against a colourful background that includes cultural references to today’s society.
DIP is a window Gallery and accessible from the street, 24 hours.
