One of my favorite artists out there - who happens to also be an embroidery artist - is Sarah K. Benning. Her work has become instantly recognizable for its amazing texture and detail and Sarah's unique point of view.
Sarah also started an awesome initiative called Craft with Conscience on Instagram about a year ago. The aim was twofold - to share the work of other artists, designers, and makers and to openly discuss how the internet (and others' work) can be a great source of inspiration without resorting to copying.
I was very honored to be the first artist interviewed as part of Sarah's new blog series. I talk about where I find inspiration, how I use the internet in my professional life, and how I deal with copycats. You can read the entire interview here.
