About
Marty Matisoff is a Frankfort-based embroidery artist whose intricate hand-stitched pieces blend abstract expressionism, Japanese sumi-e, and fine art traditions into a single needle. Each work begins as a freehand doodle, then is transferred to fabric and built stitch by stitch — sometimes incorporating clock gears, beetle elytra, beads, and sequins — taking anywhere from eight to over one hundred hours to complete. A member of the Kentucky Crafted Program since 2023, Matisoff holds a BA from Western Illinois University and an MS from the University of Nebraska.
