About

Lizzy Vartanian (b. 1993, London) is an embroidery artist based in London.

Much of her work is inspired by roots in Lebanon, Armenia and Syria, transforming twentieth-century family photographs into embroidered works of art. She has been fortunate to spend time with female practitioners in Jordan, learning about traditional stitches from the Levant. She has given workshops at institutions including Victoria & Albert Museum, Leighton House, The Other Art Fair and Darat Al Funun. Her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art and featured on Grayson Perry’s Art Club.

She was a founding member of the London-based Tatreez Collective.
