About Zecca
I began designing needlepoint canvases after finding my way into the needle arts industry via my handmade polymer clay buttons.
I made buttons and lots of other objects for needle artists for years, while my children were small.
I made jewelry and greeting cards, tee shirts, hand-bound books, pots, and lots of other things to earn a living during my youth.
I studied printmaking and ceramics in art school, and was lucky enough to attend school in Philadelphia, Boston, Oakland, and Rome.
I worked for a short time on Seventh Avenue for a sleazy fashion company, and then no one else. I saw a path.
I figured it out and made it work.
I make stuff. I am only happy when I’m making stuff. And it’s working for me.
I hope what you see here brings you joy.
