Renowned for her naturalistic hand-embroidered artwork inspired by the natural world, Jane has earned wide acclaim. Her work has been extensively exhibited and includes notable public commissions. She is the author of four books: The Art & Embroidery of Jane Hall: Reflections of Nature, The Art of Embroidered Butterflies, The Nature of Creativity: A Mindful Approach to Making Art & Craft, and Nature’s Advent Calendar – A Wild Fairy Tale. Together, her books explore the threads that run throughout her creative life — close observation of the natural world, imagination, creativity and our connection with nature.
Jane has delivered lectures to diverse audiences across the UK and internationally, and her work has been featured on television and in magazines and periodicals. Working from her countryside studio, surrounded by a thriving wildlife habitat, she continues to explore the intersections of art, nature conservation, creativity, health and wellbeing. She is also currently writing an autobiographical novel.
Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in early childhood and later facing additional health challenges, including Lyme disease and hearing and sight loss, Jane has become a passionate advocate for mental health and wellbeing. Drawing on her own experiences, she encourages people to reconnect with nature, imagination and their innate capacity for creativity, using her creative philosophy as a means of finding connection, resilience and personal growth.

This studio still life features a Brimstone butterfly, its vivid yellow wings rendered in delicate 18-denier silk stitches. Hand-modelled bluebells rise from a slender bottle discovered on a countryside walk, while silk threads used to create the woodland scene Periwinkle Woods in the background complete the composition.
