In this ongoing project the floor plans of dream homes are designed by the artist and then hand-embroidered.

This project was made from 09/12/08 to 02/03/09. During this time, a form was embroidered at the end of each day to represent or transform the most resonant or important aspect of that 24-hour period.

These works are hand embroidered specifically for duplication into brochures and postcards. Each piece is reproduced in full-color at a one-to-one scale with its paper counterpart. An additional component of the project is a regularly updated blog at www.BeNiceProject.com, which analyzes the complexity of our social and cultural landscape. Facebook and Twitter are also used to mobilize the project socially, involving a dedicated following of readers who then voluntarily distribute the materials in the U.S. and abroad.

A new endeavor, this project draws from the Daily Journaling Project. The works focus on the relationship of drawing, embroidery, and abstraction.

This gallery contains my first embroidered piece, "Stitched in my memory". Also included are selected images from the "Leaf Embroidery Project". During a three-day period I collected the remaining leaves of fall and embroidered on them. Their pliable surfaces hardened under my hands within hours making it an incredibly delicate act. Equally fragile is an image of an embroidery on a facial tissue.
