Nepenthe

Nepenthe is the first quilt I set out to make as art. I lived in California at the time; an encouraging and nurturing place, where the draw of self-expression and free design in fabric was irresistible. The “bluer” side represents a drive down the Big Sur coast in the foggy morning light. The reverse, more golden side, shows the mountains of Big Sur basking in the afternoon sunlight.
