Gentle inquiry and simple, slow creativity.
I create joyful hand embroidered artworks inspired by everyday magic. My work is about sharing and celebrating my experiences and connections with nature as well as noticing and recording the little moments of magic that happen as I go about my day. Each season brings it’s own lessons, discoveries and challenges for me to experience and document, both in my artwork and here on my blog.
