Description

It’s all about beauty. I was drawn to digital embroidery by the way the thread reflects light. Depending on the angle of the stitch, a whole new color can be seen from a single thread. It reminds me of the ways in which our perceptions can change. If you look at a situation from a different perspective, all new responses can be found. When I look at this piece, I take a deep breath and am somehow transported into a realm of pure beauty, devoid of the trials of everyday life.
