SHOP 108 Featured Artist
August - September 2024
Darci Lenker is a fiber artist living in Norman, Oklahoma. She has long been captivated by textiles - from sewing doll clothes with a toy sewing machine as a child to knotting hemp as a teenager. She discovered this was an actual art form in college where she focused on weaving, felting, and paper and book arts.
After many years of sewing dolls, Lenker began to shift her focus solely to embroidery. She was attracted to the possibilities of what could be done with a single strand of thread and exploring how detailed the medium could be. “Embroidery combines my love for drawing and fiber art. For me, the process of creating art is just as important as the result. I enjoy extended projects that grow little by little over time,” Lenker explains. Her focus is miniature realistic thread painting embroidery.
