The Pillars of Creation, also known as the Eagle Nebula, captured my imagination from the moment I saw the images of it taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. Wow!

Siren's Song
November 2016
72" H x 56" W
$8,000
Leaning over the balcony of our ocean liner cabin I found myself mesmerized by the wake trailing the ship. The fluctuating patterns of swirling foam contrasting with the intense dappled greens of the sea created a Siren’s Song, begging for deeper study. Straightening up I was treated to a glorious sunset, as seductive as the ocean it was reflected in. Siren’s Song captures this experience using traditional blocks to create an abstraction of a photograph taken of the wake. Three different blocks, each playing homage to water through their names, were used. Intense free motion quilting designed to emulate foam and eddies continues the ocean illusion.
