Artist’s Statement

Tall Lightning is a cubistic interpretation of lightning in action. Lightning is explored on several visual levels. This tall quilt was inspired by the email internet handle of a Studio Art Quilt Associates' colleague: "tall girl," which really appealed to me. On another level, I see it as her portrait. Of course, no one would guess that....
