Description:

Artist’s Statement: "This majestic Sumatran Tiger is one of 400 critically endangered animals remaining in the wild. I hope to honor and share his beauty through this quilt.

From a distance, the tiger seems real, but upon close inspection, the exclusive use of fabric is evident. The tiger is enticing you into the water…how can you resist?"
