I started stitching during nap times in 2017, after my youngest was born. In 2020, I picked up a brush and started painting my own canvases, and it quickly became my favorite part of the process. In 2023, I opened The Needlepoint Vault to share the designs I was creating and to offer a collection of curated pieces from other artists whose work I admire.

I run the business from home in Richmond, Virginia, between school drop-offs and afternoon pickups. Our dog Duke keeps me company while I paint and pack orders. I live here with my husband and our two kids, and I’m incredibly grateful to do this work from home and for all the support from my customers who make it possible.
