The Embroidery of Paper: A Fusion of Couture and Unconventionality
​
At the core of her artistic repertoire lies a technique akin to couture embroidery, intricately crafted with thousands of pins. Employing hand-cut or machine-cut paper, each piece integrates handmade paper and unique photographs, layered with a myriad of beads. With each pin meticulously placed, her art becomes a testament to the convergence of meticulous craftsmanship and unexpected materials.

The Weaving of Threads: A Collaborative Innovation

In the throes of the pandemic, finding solace in Mexico, her cherished home, she embarked on a collaborative journey with her mother, Sandra Canterbury. Drawing from her fascination with textiles, her vision evolved into a weaving technique that defies convention. With shapes standing on pins, a synergy of her mother's expertise in textile development and her artistic vision emerged. Their collaboration became a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.
