Jenny Hart was born in 1972 in Iowa City and raised in rural Illinois. She is best known for her artwork in hand embroidery and her design company Sublime Stitching. Hart’s work has been published in numerous books and magazines including Vogue, Nylon, Spin, The Face, Juxtapoz, The New York Times Magazine and others. She has exhibited in Los Angeles, Paris, London and New York. Hart is also an award-winning author of seven titles on embroidery for Chronicle Books. Jenny’s work is in multiple public and private collections of note, including the estate of Elizabeth Taylor and the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
I really like the detail and style in her work and I think it's something I'd like to emulate.
Louise combines the exciting and intricate medium of free machine embroidery with her passion for drawing and says she can drive a sewing machine like an ‘Aston Martin!’ She creates figurative, floral and flamboyant pieces of artwork using a combination of rhythmic drawing, intense and intricate free machine stitches, paints, appliqué and inks. Every work is unique and labor-intensive, planned yet spontaneous. These original and energetic embroideries celebrate the rich and colorful medium of thread and illustrate her sensitivity to her surroundings, lust for life and cheeky sense of humor.
