JODI BAGER, Artist
EMBROIDERER & ARTIST
Historically, ARTIST isn’t a word that I ever used to describe myself until, well, it became so. Or more aptly, until I became so. Although I will admit to always being creative, artist was never a word I could embrace. It was too big, too lofty and yes, sounded a little pretentious! Yes, I have always been able to make my way with a needle—any needle—knitting, crochet, embroidery—that is where my skills lay. Though I am student of the Certificate Program at the Royal School of Needlework, In England, I am, most assuredly, a self taught illustrator, painter, and digital artist. So now I proudly embrace the fact that I am indeed an artist.
Canadian by birth and based in Toronto, all the commissioned custom embroidery is my handiwork, from design stage through to the actual stitching. Painstakingly stitched and often taking many months to complete, each piece of embroidery is an original work of art.
