The talented artist is self-learned and inspired by love, like most of the artists. “I just decided to try.

What she does did not happen overnight. In fact, it took her about half a year to bring her amazing work to the public eye. “I started to publish my embroidery experiments on Instagram and people started to write to me, ‘can I buy it?’ And I thought – why not.”
So scroll down to see some of her work. These pictures will leave you wanting for more!
Each piece transports you to a fairy tale world full of love and fantasy. With vibrant blues, whimsical pinks, and deep purples, she created an amazing world of nature and music.
Her work features intricate details and she says that depending on the intricacy and the detail that goes into the work, it takes her anywhere from three days to a month to finish one piece. “I am thinking about future embroidery, I am preparing the necessary materials “Sometimes the picture in my head does not coincide with what I made, then I cut off threads and try again.”
More importantly, her work has not stayed stagnant all this time. As you can see from her feed, her work has been subjected to change over the time and the evolution of her work is amazing! Her enchanting needlepoint can be seen displayed over complimentary backdrops, enhancing and adding to the already eye-popping visuals.
