Many people are drawn to the ocean for its vast beauty.

And while most creatives capture beaches and seascapes, few immortalize its appearance from far above.

That is why the art of Canada-based artist Danielle stands out.

Each of her blue-green pieces translates rarely seen views of large bodies of water into textured illustrations.

Every piece, however, features a subtle abstraction that echoes the way the Earth looks from space.

Danielle of Satellite Stitches creates intricate embroidery art inspired by satellite images of the ocean.

Each piece captures the grandeur of vast open waters.

As a result of the swirls and patterns, these images appear to have an abstract quality.
