Athena

I’m a writer whose chronic pain prohibits my craft, so I’ve turned to drawing and fibre arts as creative outlets. I’ve been rug hooking fainted 2017,
weaving since 2020, and embroidering since Jan 2021. I’m currently learning to pain watercolour. I also like to sew felt ornaments and toys for my son. I drew most of my life until my attention turned to writing, so I didn’t draw anything from 2007-2020. Now I draw almost everyday. Art is all I want to do, it gives me self-esteem, purpose, and pleasure. I’m eager to learn more in embroidery, punch hook, illustration techniques, and watercolour so I can enhance my skills.

I’m also in the final stages of a book project on motherhood I’ve been working on since 2016 with a photographer and I hope to write and illustrate a children’s picture book.
