Sometimes artists are unaware of the impact they have on the viewer(s) and the work comes out naturally and timely, rather than focused and forced. This is the case for local Salt Lake City artist Mia Hanson, whose handkerchiefs, earrings, koozies, wallets and dresses can be seen all over the city. “I started sewing in high school because I wanted to be a costume designer.” Hanson says, “Ever since my mother taught me the ins-and-outs, I have always had a love for embroidery work.”
