Natyurmort (2022) Textile Art by Seda Lokiani

Born in Gyumri, Armenia, in 1987, I made the move to the USA with my family in 2017, settling in the charming city of Mandeville, Louisiana. While I'm a professional opera singer and currently a music teacher, my love for crafts led me to discover cross-stitching in 2017. Despite the initial challenge of mastering intricate techniques, I delved into ambitious projects, drawn to those with numerous colors and stitches. Despite being a quick stitcher, large works still take me about a year, demanding patience and precision akin to a jeweler's touch.
While I continue to teach piano and voice to kids, cross-stitching has become an indispensable part of my life. This hobby has been transformative, and I find joy in stitching various artists' works of all sizes. My dream is to establish a gallery showcasing my cross-stitch creations, hoping to evoke appreciation from the original artists. Married, and have two wonderful sons. My husband, a steadfast supporter in my music career, now shares in my passion for cross-stitching. Presently, I'm engrossed in multiple exciting projects, envisioning them to be displayed in galleries.

Anything crafted with love in this world is a masterpiece of art
