About me
I am a 17 year old hailing from the beautiful land of South Africa. I have only been embroidering for the past year and began as a form of therapy. There is a silent sense of healing through the slow work of embroidery which I have embraced and learn patience from such a practice in a world of instant gratification. Embroidery has also taught me to express my thoughts, dreams and journeys in a refreshingly new and contemporary way.
Being in a Steiner or Waldorf school, my 12th year was dedicated to me working on a project of my own choice for eight months. At this time I was struggling with crippling mental illness and somehow through the slow stitch of embroidery, I was able to find my voice again and persevere. It is safe to say that in some ways, embroidery helped me see the light and beauty in life again.
