The Album Series

My work lives at the intersection of fabric and thread—where traditional craftsmanship meets bold, unexpected technique. Deeply influenced by fashion, I’m drawn to color, texture, and the energy of wearable art. But my biggest inspiration has always been music—especially the golden era of 1970s record albums, when listening was a full sensory experience. You didn’t just hear an album… you held it, studied the liner notes, and fell in love with the artwork before the first track even played.

That nostalgia sparked my embroidered album series, first unveiled during Basel Week in Miami, where it was met with incredible excitement and quickly took on a life of its own. Each piece is stitched directly into a vintage album sleeve, layered with embroidery, appliqué, and mixed techniques that make every work completely one-of-one. Hung together, the collection becomes a striking visual soundtrack—an immersive gallery wall where music, memory, and craftsmanship collide

Craft Your Ultimate Album Showcase!

Each guitar in this series tells its own story—stitched in rich detail to capture the soul of a vintage instrument with serious threadwork and attitude. I’ve created 15+ unique designs in a range of styles and finishes, and after 45 years of playing guitar, these pieces are deeply personal to me. Once embroidered, every guitar is mounted in relief over an album sleeve or a quilted background, giving it real depth and presence on the wall. Sizes range from 5”x12” up to 26”x40”.

Have a dream guitar in mind—or a custom request you’ve always wanted to see brought to life? I also create commissioned “custom shop” pieces made just for you.
