STITCHING YOUR STORY
The doors to commissioning a custom portrait for December ‘21 are open - only accepting a small handful of proposals.
DRAWING WITH THREAD
By exploring the sewing machine as a tool for drawing, Nina will turn your special photo into art. Serving as a powerful reminder of the beauty and strength of your loved ones; a piece of art that will be handed down from generation to generation.
Since so many of us are away from our loved ones during the pandemic this could be a warm and spirit-lifting gift.
CREATIVE PROCESS
Once you have purchased your commission, Nina will contact you by email to arrange the details of your portrait and dive a little deeper into your concept.
Your art will be signed by Nina and it comes with a certificate of authenticity.
All artworks are made with organic fabric and cotton thread.
COMMISSION A PORTRAIT

Since so many of us are away from our loved ones during the pandemic this could be a warm and spirit-lifting gift.
