Artist Statement: "This is a classic view of the Seattle skyline from Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill; a dark and moody night filled with the iconic buildings downtown.

About the Tactile Architecture Exhibit: "Buildings have a long history of inspiring the creative designs of quiltmakers. In the 19th century, American quilters developed classic architectural blocks and patterns such as Log Cabin, Schoolhouse, and Brick Wall. This annual juried exhibit challenges quiltmakers to create works based on architectural themes and inspirations in any style."
