Featured: Limited Edition Prints
Limited Edition prints are printed on 100% cotton hot press fine art paper with archival ink. They are then selectively hand embellished with embroidery thread by the artist to highlight the original embroidered texture. Mo more than 50 of each piece will ever be made!
“Stitched For the Future”
Stitched for the Future (2023) is a collection of mixed-media fiber art pieces that explore the stories of beautiful creatures around the world. Each piece was diligently hand embroidered onto a natural canvas of sustainably harvested birch tree bark or salmon leather that I tan and dye by hand. The larger works can take up to 100 hours of labor. In pursuit of preserving the future of our wildlife, a portion of the proceeds will be donated directly to conservation programs worldwide.
This theme was born out of a desire to highlight uplifting stories of successful conservation programs throughout the world and, additionally, to delight viewers with the joy of unique and charismatic organisms. According to the World Wildlife Foundation, we lose a staggering 10,000-100,000 species each year. It is easy to get lost in the heartbreak and forget to celebrate the incredible successes that wildlife warriors worldwide have made.
Many of these pieces are available for purchase - please contact me with any inquiries.
Modern hand embroidery art with a twist.
I create engaging, nature inspired art using sustainably harvested birch tree bark as a canvas.
Hand Painted and Hand Embroidered
All pieces are first painted using handmade watercolors directly onto the birch bark. Then, I use modern hand embroidery techniques to add texture and details to the piece.
Sustainably Harvested Birch Bark
I hand harvest all of the birch bark for my original pieces from fallen trees around Alaska. While bark is more supple when taken from a live tree, the damage it can cause to the trees is something I try to avoid.
Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Embellished Prints
High quality giclee prints are made from a handful of my designs. From these, I choose a selection to add embroidery back to and offer as limited edition embellished prints. Each of these are unique, and will only be offered in small quantities.
