Intricate and unique art embroidered meticulously by hand.
I love working with color and movement. I have loved dragons since I was a kid and am overjoyed to share my hyper fixation.
Hello! I’m Sam Riesmeyer. I’m a Chicago based artist trying to make fine art out of embroidery. After starting in 2018 it has slowly enveloped my entire life and has become a huge part of my identity. I love how much time it takes to get every single detail right.
