Embroidered Self-portrait

I Care

When I suddenly and abruptly became a caregiver for my husband with Parkinsons, I began to create embroidered portraits of all the people who help to care for my husband and for me. I do the embroidery while I am waiting, at doctors' offices and during physical therapy and exercise classes. I plan to make more to keep growing our circle of care. My portraits will become more refined, the more I make and as I go through this journey together with my husband.
