ABOUT THE ARTIST: I am a textile and collage artist
from Ottawa, Canada. I graduated from Algonquin
College’s animation program in Spring 2016, and
have been working in the animation industry. I
started practicing embroidery in December of
2016, and since then have amassed a small
portfolio of embroidered, collage rug and
felt works. My work has been featured in a few
group shows through travelling exhibit Feminist

Los Angeles, and through 307 Craftivists in
Cheyenne, Wyoming. I am going to be involved
in upcoming show Stitch Fetish: San Francisco
in October, and a solo show set to open mid
