About
Seeing the world through colors is like unlocking a vibrant tapestry of emotions and experiences. Each hue holds its unique story and evokes a different sentiment. When we view the world though this colorful lens, we discover that it’s not just about the individual colors themselves, but how they interact and blend together, much like the threads in a tapestry. Just as fibers weave together to create intricate patterns, relationships between people are also woven through the strands of communication, trust, and shared experiences. The more we understand this interconnectedness, the more we can appreciate the beauty in the diversity and relationships that shape our lives. Through these connections, we can truly paint a picture of the world and the tapestry of relationships that bind us all together. Using embroidery as a medium, I strive to recreate these connections.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
Rincon stands as a testament to the profound beauty of the ocean. In the sea, we become part of something greater than ourselves and join the tapestry of life woven from the threads of our shared existence. Swimmers are united by the common bond of our humanity and our reverence for the ocean's vast and mysterious beauty
