Embroidery is an art form that takes time. And when March 2020 found me quarantining in rural Illinois, I discovered that time was a commodity I had a lot of.

Embroidering Vincent became my passion project—over the next two years, whenever life was hard (or I was bored), I would reach for my denim jacket, thread, and reference photo, and begin to stitch.

Though I may add more to the jacket later, I’ve decided that my newest piece of wearable art is finished—for now.
