Joy in life! Emmy Tovo is my spirited, adventuresome daughter. Out in the woods, hugging a log, so so Emily! My goal is to capture the life spirit of people, their quirks, and energy.
I love the slowness of capturing people in fabric. Time to think and process, pick out stitches and re-sew, try a layout and change it and change it back again. Time to go through my stash for the third time, looking for just the right value. My artistic meditation.
