Natural Forces series
I’m constantly inspired by wind, weather, the curves of the hills, changing skies, dandelions dotting the meadows, ice breaking up and reforming, waves out on the ocean, wild orchids blooming, and more. The fine art quilts in this series are my attempt to capture some of my feelings about these natural forces that affect our lives every day. These quilts are constructed with curvy lines that flow together.
