I am an embroidery artist concentrating on creating handcrafted wearables using traditional techniques in a contemporary context. I primarily work in goldwork hand embroidery; a medium historically used to adorn royalty and those in positions of power. In my practice, I use this technique in unconventional ways and make this historically inaccessible and grandiose artform accessible for everyday life. With my work, I hope to bring awareness to this craft in order to help maintain its longevity.
