"The Green Man is Watching Us"
40" x 50"
June, 2001This quilt uses over one thousand pieces of fabric to capture the spirit of the "Green Man". This is a very three-dimensional quilt, with strong textures; three-dimensional butterflies, flowers, stones and beads; and some features that will not be visible until you see it in a dark room...
You can spend hours finding wood sprites, animals, fairies and other nature deva's
peering out from the fabrics.

woman's life. 35 inches diameter,

"Pemaquid Point Lighthouse"
1995
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse on the coast of Maine is located
on a beautiful rocky setting. Unlike most coastlines, the strata of the rocks
are exposed in remarkably straight lines. Most of the fabric is hand-painted
silk or cotton. The fence posts are clay beads made by my husband and son.
