Description:
Artist’s Statement: “My Mom and I embarked on an epic travel trip we named our Thelma and Louise Adventure. We drove down the west coast, eventually ending up in Palm Springs, California. While there, we visited the Living Desert Botanical Garden. This quilt is inspired by one of the photographs I took that spring day of a Prickly Pear Cactus in bloom. I loved the leathery texture of the cactus leaves (paddles) and the almost translucent citron yellow blossoms.”
