ARTIST STATEMENT

In June of 2018 we took a photographic expedition to the north end of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. We spent two twelve-hour days on a small boat viewing wildlife. In the Broughton Islands we encountered a pod of 200 Pacific white-sided dolphins. They followed in the wake of the boat, jumping through the wake and splashing back into the water, looking like they were having lots of fun. My husband Ron was shooting ten frames per second with a fast shutter speed and caught several pictures of the frolicking dolphins. With Ron’s permission, this quilt is based on the most graphic of those photos.
