Through meticulous and intuitive movements, I meticulously layer vibrant threads, bringing to life intricate textures and captivating imagery. Each stitch is an act of devotion, a testament to my love for the craft and the stories I seek to convey. In the precious moments outside my studio, I am accompanied by two beloved companions: my two children and two faithful dogs. Their presence fills my life with reminding me of the beauty of unconditional love and the importance of cherishing every fleeting moment.
