045 - Denim Dolly (Oval) by Sarah Jeanne Textile Art

This stitched tribute celebrates a young Dolly Parton, lovingly crafted by Sarah Jeanne Textile Art. Inspired by denim and a playful approach to texture, Sarah layers thread sketching, embellishment, and fabric artistry to trace Dolly’s journey—from the hollers of the Tennessee mountains to the glitter-drenched spotlight of global fame.

Denim Dolly is a joyful mash-up of grit and glamour. The denim itself stands as a symbol of humble beginnings, resilience, and authenticity. With feminine flair and heartfelt detail, this portrait captures Dolly’s Southern soul and her great big approachable heart.

Sarah Jeanne Textile Art

From her home studio in Eastern North Carolina, Sarah Jeanne stitches joy, texture, and a healthy dose of oddity into every piece she creates. A mixed media textile artist with a love for denim and thread sketching, she delights in fabric manipulation techniques—chenille textures, felting, and bold embellishments—all brought to life through her vibrant sense of color.

Her work often features portraits of musicians, transforming humble materials into textured, tactile narratives that honor the bluegrass and “ya’llternative” legends who keep her dopamine rocking. Her art dances between the rustic and the refined, reflecting both her super-serious achiever side and her goofy—often juvenile—sense of humor.

Sarah’s creative journey began at her Funky Little Shack, a restored 1843 schoolhouse church in Funkstown, Maryland.
