My journey into the world of embroidery began over a decade ago, when I first discovered the mesmerizing art of stumpwork in my grandmother's attic. Among dusty treasures, I found a small, intricately embroidered piece that seemed to come alive with its raised petals and dimensional leaves.
That moment sparked a passion that would shape my entire artistic career. I spent countless hours studying traditional techniques, learning from master craftspeople, and experimenting with modern interpretations of ancient methods. Each stitch became a meditation, each thread a brushstroke in my textile paintings.
Today, KQ Creates represents the culmination of this journey. My work combines the timeless beauty of traditional embroidery with contemporary design sensibilities, creating pieces that honor the past while speaking to modern aesthetics.
