In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Audrey Montoya.
Audrey Montoya is a needle felting artist whose melancholic characters are strange in all the right ways. Her affinity for childhood icons and kitsch pop culture began at an early age, but after an education in the world of fine art, her adventure into needle felting has truly crystallised her vision. This is the first part of our NeedleXChange where we explore Audrey's beginning and get a sense of what an artistic force she is.
