My work is rooted in familiar embroidery techniques, but I like to push beyond the flat surface, combining three-dimensional elements to bring my textile art to life. I’m drawn to the richness and diversity of embroidery, and I aim to transform the ordinary and familiar into pieces that invite the viewer to look closer and consider the message behind the work.

I work with a variety of threads, materials, and techniques, tailoring each piece to suit the subject and its story. By layering and blending traditional domestic embroidery with social and ecological commentary, I hope to connect with viewers in unexpected ways.

Ultimately, my goal is to create art that resonates emotionally: pieces that spark reflection, challenge social norms and invite contemplation on the legacy we leave behind.
