About

I am a textile artist portraying my love of the Canadian landscape through hand-embroidered art.

Each piece begins slowly, with quiet moments among forests and along coastlines across Canada. Using traditional embroidery techniques, I create each tapestry stitch by stitch, often exceeding 250,000 individual hand stitches in a single piece.

This deliberate, time-intensive process mirrors the landscapes themselves: layered, patient, and shaped over time exploring scale, distance, and memory of how places linger with us long after we’ve left them. My art is both meditation and storytelling that invites the viewer to slow down, look closely, and experience the landscape in a more intricate and intimate way.

All pieces are entirely hand-stitched and are created as one-of-a-kind works. My work is held in private collections and has been exhibited in Canada and the United States. For enquiries about available pieces, commissions, or exhibitions, please get in touch via the contact page.

Thank you for taking the time to view my work.
