Yarn art by the Scottish coast with Gaelle Chassery

Yarn art is a therapeutic creative outlet for Gaelle Chassery who is originally from France but currently living next to the rugged waters along the Scottish West Coast. This coastal environment serves as inspiration for her crochet and paintings works. Materials and colors are carefully selected for each piece of yarn art (shown below) and the paintings she produces (shown to the right). Gaelle opens up about how and why she creates these pieces.
