My name is Erika Tu’avao and I currently live in Provo, Utah. I have always loved creating, but in summer 2019 I was finishing my last semester of college and I knew I needed a creative outlet to help with my anxiety- so I got some embroidery supplies, drew a design, and started stitching. I never imagined that I would become a full-time embroidery artist, but painting with thread has opened my life to so much positivity and beauty. The colors, textures, and scenes of nature continually inspire me to continue creating and I don’t think I will ever stop!
