About the page author
“I always loved art, but I never had much interest in needlework while I was growing up and there were no relatives who would be interested in this,” says our heroine Chloe Giordano. “I became interested in embroidery when I was in my last year at university, where I got an art education, to be honest, I almost picked up the needle in my hands for the first time in many years and really didn’t know what to do with it, but I always loved to draw and spend a lot of time looking at and drawing animals. I came to this. "
According to Chloe, she learned to embroider on her own, following the path of trial and error. Now she creates works, which she herself calls something between an illustration and embroidery. Book publishers collaborate with her, using her works for covers and illustrations. Chloe’s own book on embroidery is also being prepared for release.
