DRAWING WITH A SEWING MACHINE

Home: Arizona, United States

I’m an artist who draws with a sewing machine. With a solar powered sewing machine I make collaborative custom patches on the spot. I move the fabric around the needle with my hands, without automation or a template.

I started sewing in 2004 to make functional art: sewing on clothing, making patches, and then on to larger fine art pieces. Over the years I've developed a pointillism technique with thread. I began drawing and painting at an early age: filling thousands of sketchbook pages. I’m also a performing and recording musician.
