Studio Journal

Every embroidered artwork I create begins with a photograph, but somewhere along the journey it becomes something entirely different. Where does photography end and textile art begin? Join me behind the scenes as I explore the decisions, edits and thousands of stitches that transform a captured moment into an original piece of embroidered art.

Sometimes the best way to unblock creativity is to step away from the studio. A reflection on how taking a day off, gardening and reconnecting with nature can refresh inspiration for textile art and creative practice.

Creative work can leave us vulnerable to self-doubt, criticism, and setbacks,  but creativity also teaches us how to rebuild. A reflective piece on resilience, confidence, and piecing things back together through stitch and making.
