About Biobroidery

I draw on my background in biology and ecology to craft hand-embroidered art. My specialty is embroidering native plants and birds and using botanical motifs in my work to depict ecological relationships. Originally from Tennessee, I started doing embroidery when I was doing field work in New Mexico in 2016. As I was learning the flora and fauna of the region, I loved trying to embroider botanically-correct plants. After making a few gifts for family and friends, I made an Instagram for my art, started an Etsy shop, and began doing custom pieces and pop-up markets. Since moving to Oregon in 2018, I've shifted my focus to embroidering the native plants and birds where I live and work. Read their story
