I do not just want to embroid, but I want you to create so that you too can feel the intense joy that I experience in being here. My inspiration is my teacher. All small details of my creations become my friends. The colors, textures, and light are so fierce and warm to the soul.

Every piece I create captures a part of my life, and I am honored to share them with you.
