In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Manya Goldman.

Manya is a needlepoint artist whose stitched snapshots capture moments of her personal history with intentional intimacy.

We have a great conversation about her process and how her academic career as an art teacher and psychotherapist brought her to this recent renaissance.
