I am mesmerized by the sweet simplicity of the embroidered drawings of artist Megan Ileana.  Megan has created a lovely blog in which she shares quiet intimate moments embroidered.  It reads almost like a visual diary of a young women’s life.

Her stitches are simple and straightforward.  Her simple line drawing technique moves the heart in its sweet loveliness.

She states:

I see embroidery as a lens through which to view the intimate moments of my life.

My art is an exploration of sexuality, gender and bodies.

I could not agree more.  She explores and celebrates femininity, intimacy, and the little moments of life.

Her technique reminding me quite a bit of the lovely work of Orly Cogan and I cannot help but adore the similarities between the  themes in my own work and hers- but Megan has a voice all her own.

I am delighted to have discovered her work.
