In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Niki McDonald.
Niki McDonald, also known as TapestryGirl, is an Australian needlework artist whose urban pop art portraits use modern street art styles to tell stories of iconic characters she has created.
In this first part of our interview we talk about how Niki juggles the artistic path while also working in special needs education and being a modern mother.
