Hand-stitched Applique

Senett has been making art since they could first hold a crayon, and has never stopped creating since. Though their degree is in science, art courses in college helped them grow as an artist, and they’ve continued to experiment with traditional media and printmaking ever since. Inspired by their fascination with beetles, Senett blends sewing and textile work into their practice. Their mother is a long-time quilter and sewing enthusiast who taught them sewing basics at a young age. Using the same sewing machine their mother taught them on as a child, they craft intricate insect-inspired pieces. They continue to self-educate as an amateur entomologist and beetle enthusiast, with each new thing they learn pushing Senett to explore the natural world through their art. They put a lot of love and care into making handcrafted items that will be unique and add a touch of whimsy to your home or wardrobe.  Senett's art is mainly inspired by the fascinating insects native to North America, with a focus on beetles found local to Colorado.   Pictured below, Senett is holding their submission to the Pride show at the Fort Collins Center for Creativity during June of 2025
