Australian artist, teacher and writer <a href="http://serawaters.com.au/" target="_blank">Sera Waters</a> draws inspiration from the uglier, shocking side of life. After her studies, she received a grant which enabled her to attend the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace, where she furthered her embroidery skills. </div>
