Hello Artful Threads!
I'm so thrilled you're here!I truly appreciate the opportunity to submit my art, AND that you've made the process as simple as possible. In return I'll also just cut to the chase.
I know you're looking for a submission of one piece of work, so I hope it's OK that I showcase a few pieces for a feel of my style:
I included these because I noticed that the "Say It With Stitches" collection might need a little love! I've removed complex backgrounds or textures from their originals so that they're easier to convert to needlepoint canvases. If you'd like to see a wider selection of lettering and illustrations that I curated for Artful Threads, please let me know and I will send over the link.
Lastly, here's my brief bio:
My name is Madeline and I'm a surface designer and handletterer. Unlike many creatives, I haven’t had a creative childhood. I was (am) good at math, which is what I pursued and has been the basis of my tech/business career for two decades. I found art in 2020 – in my case, calligraphy and photography. One thing led to another, and now here I am, with what I never thought was in the cards for me: an art & design business.
Based in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada, I share my home with my husband and two daughters. I draw inspiration from everyday things, my kids and their art, and just a little bit of nature. My designs and lettering are fun and effortless, and I hope they bring some joy into the world.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon!
