Stitched for the Future (2023) is a collection of mixed-media fiber art pieces that explore the stories of beautiful creatures around the world. Each piece was diligently hand embroidered onto a natural canvas of sustainably harvested birch tree bark or salmon leather that I tan and dye by hand. The larger works can take up to 100 hours of labor. In pursuit of preserving the future of our wildlife, a portion of the proceeds will be donated directly to conservation programs worldwide.

This theme was born out of a desire to highlight uplifting stories of successful conservation programs throughout the world and, additionally, to delight viewers with the joy of unique and charismatic organisms. According to the World Wildlife Foundation, we lose a staggering 10,000-100,000 species each year. It is easy to get lost in the heartbreak and forget to celebrate the incredible successes that wildlife warriors worldwide have made.
