ARTIST STATEMENT
This is an improvisational curve-pieced abstract design utilizing numerous bright solid and ombre colors. This fiber art composition started with one curved piece and grew into a quilt where planets, water, plants, mountains, and rays of light and dark depict what the entry of paradise might look like. This was my first attempt at improvisational piecing where I allowed the art to simply emerge and the colors to truly rule!
