Will you embroider something for me? Can I commission you to do a portrait?
I don't usually accept private commissions due to time constraints and a desire to focus on my own work. However, I will consider serious queries from time to time.

Can you be hired as an illustrator / graphic designer or for commercial projects?
Sometimes. It depends on the project, my availability and a reasonable deadline. See my list of clients.

How long does it take for you to complete one of your works in embroidery?
Anywhere from two weeks (embroidering 3-4 hours a day) to many months, sometimes years. It depends entirely on scale, amount of detail and how much time I decide to take working on a piece.

Can I buy your work?
A majority of these works are already in private collections. If you are interested in buying a piece, please email to inquire about prices and availability.

If a piece I want has already sold, will you make a duplicate for me?
Sorry, no.

Did you grow up doing needlework?
I began working in embroidery in the summer of 2000 to experiment with it as a medium for fine art and became addicted to it.

Are you a hobbyist whose crafting evolved into these works?
I began first working in embroidery with the works you see on this website. However, my main discipline as an artist is in drawing. My background is not as a textile or fiber artist.

Where can I see your work on display?
All exhibitions are listed on the exhibitions page.

Can I buy embroidery patterns or kits of the work I see on jennyhart.net?
No, but you can buy embroidery patterns and kits I've designed from Sublime Stitching.

How are your works displayed? Are they framed?
Some are unfinished fabric and pinned and draped directly to the wall. Most are hung banner-style, with a rod inserted along a top sleeve.

Do you really embroider these by yourself? You must have people helping you.
Everything is embroidered entirely by hand, by me. It may take hundreds of individual stitches to create a single line, and the work is slow and takes time.

So, if I can't get you to embroider something for me, will you help me find someone who can?
I'm sorry, but I'm unable to offer referrals for embroidery services.

Will you sew something for me?
I work only in decorative embroidery and I don't know how to do constructive sewing.

I'm a student working on a project or writing a doctoral thesis / dissertation and would like to interview you. Would you answer some questions for me?
I would be happy to, time permitting. Just submit a request via the contact page.

I'm an artist interested in working in embroidery too. Would you be able to meet / talk / email with me one-on-one to share your techniques or give me guidance on forging my career?
I'm sorry, but I can't accept requests for individual instruction or guidance. I just don't have the time available. Occasionally I hold embroidery workshops which are announced via Sublime Stitching.
