A story worth living with.
Original narrative fiber art by Linda Keene
Every commissioned piece begins with a story.
Some stories deserve a place on the wall. I create original narrative fiber artworks that honor people, preserve memories, and celebrate moments that matter. Each commission begins with a conversation and develops into a one-of-a-kind work made for you and your space.
Fabric, stitch, and embellishment bring depth and texture to the story. I guide each project collaboratively from concept through completion.
