With all of the AI nonsense, I’ve taken a break from digital art. I took a break from art in general … then fell back in love with it slowly through embroidery. I’m going to start sharing my embroideries, because that is what I’ve been making for now.

May 2025: My next #aerialembroidery attempt. The bridge into town was reduced to one lane for repair, so I started taking the scenic route in to work every morning and then back home during the golden hour. Spring inspired me as I drove past farmland and woods. #handembroidery #embroidery

December 2023… my first go at the idea of an #aerialembroidery based on Appalachian Maryland. I didn’t have the right materials, and it got a little frustrating so my journey stopped here for a little while. #embroideryart #handembroidery #embroidery
