Before Fame

She has been a seamstress since 2005, working for nearly 10 years as an interior designer making window treatments, upholstery, and bedding. She found the job both stressful and boring, and in 2014, after making a cicada sculpture for a friend's birthday, decided to leave her job and become a full-time artist.
Trivia
