Artful embroidery
For the past decade, I have utilized embroidery as my primary medium for fine art, with my work displayed in galleries, museums, celebrity collections, and commercial institutions worldwide.Inspired by the art of embroidery and its potential, I often wondered why so few people frame their embroidery.Then I discovered they didn’t understand how to bring it all together. With the right techniques and tools, I will guide you through the process to create stunning Artful Embroidery pieces that truly reflect your passionto hang in your home or create as a special gift!
