Beautiful, embroidered ship by the embroidery artist Cecilia Antonia Maria Wilhelmina Dreesmann.
She was born on 13 April 1920 in Amsterdam.
Cecile lived and worked in various places at home and abroad, mainly in Amsterdam and Laren (NH).
Cecile was a pupil at the Royal School of Needlework in London.
The name Cecile Dreesmann is almost synonymous with embroidery.
For many years, she has increasingly engaged with all forms of embroidery. This led to the development of her own style, as unique as it is beautiful, in which she translates her dream expressions onto silk, incorporating precious stones, semi-precious stones, and other valuable materials.
She is also the author of eight books on the history and techniques of embroidery, one of which was published in America and deals with contemporary samplers.
She has always been a great advocate of learning embroidery as a very personal art form, in which everyone must find their own way.
