Aly Dalrymple is a textile artist specialising in free machine embroidery and paint on natural fabric. Aly’s early years were spent in the countryside of North Wales, and her life-long love of wildlife comes through in her work. Her hangings tell stories and create new worlds; she infuses folklore into her work.
Aly creates mesmerising textile hangings that delve into the elements of the natural world. Through layers of textured stitch, vibrant colour, dynamic movement and detail, she brings to life dreamlike scenes that captivate the viewer. Aly creates space for thought and wonder, focusing in on detail and the intricacy of wildlife and the world around her. She invites her audience to explore and appreciate the delicate beauty she discovers in the richness of nature.

The Own Art Scheme is an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council that is designed to make it affordable for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft by letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months.
You can choose any work with a retail price between £250 and £25,000 from our great selection of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass and wood. It is not possible to buy gift vouchers with the Own Art Scheme.
You can borrow from as little as £250 up to a maximum of £25,000 . We then spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan. For instance, if you buy a painting from us that costs £300 through the own art scheme, you would pay £30 in 10 monthly installments.
