Sarah Gibson Wiley is a textile artist whose work brings interiors, people, and places to life through layered fabric and stitch. With a background in interior design and a lifelong instinct for composition, she creates richly detailed pieces that feel both intimate and immersive.
Each work begins as a hand-drawn design and is built sequentially—layer by layer—using repurposed fabric appliqué, and machine embroidery. Drawing from photographs, memory, and conversation, Sarah translates personal stories into tactile works of art that capture not only how a space or subject looks, but how it feels to be there.
Her work is rooted in a legacy of creativity. Her great-grandfather, Charles Dana Gibson, created the iconic Gibson Girl, and cousin, Nancy Lancaster, helped shape the English Country House style through Colefax & Fowler. This lineage of artistry and design continues to inform her distinct point of view.
From portraits of homes, pets, and families to imagined interiors, each piece offers a sense of place, personality, and narrative—inviting the viewer in.
Sarah lives and works in Richmond, Virginia, where she creates in her studio each day alongside her two Cairn Terriers.
