Where Craft Meets Fine Art
Textile Art by
Donna Tikkanen-Davis
Every stitch tells a story. For Donna Tikkanen-Davis, needlework is more than craft—it is an art form.
“Textile arts transform plant, animal, and synthetic fibers into timeless
works of beauty—where tradition, craftsmanship, and fine art intertwine.”

About Donna
I am a textile artist who “paints with thread,” creating one-of-a-kind pieces that blend patience, color, and story. My collections—ranging from nature-inspired landscapes to whimsical designs—celebrate the beauty of craftsmanship and detail.
What began as a creative spark in my thirties has grown into a body of work I’m proud to share, where every stitch carries meaning.
