Evolutionary Thread Designs
Modern hand embroidery art with a twist.
I create engaging, nature inspired art using sustainably harvested birch tree bark and hand tanned salmon leather 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.
