Legacy Mount Hood Hospital Commissioned Art

During the COVID-19 lockdown, I have completed a commission for Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center. Many of you have asked to see photos of the completed piece. However, I have been unable to safely schedule a photoshoot with my photographer. While awaiting a professional photoshoot and installation at the hospital, I will share a few photos of Solace shot in my studio. The background white areas include hand stitching with various white theads. Unfortunately, without proper lighting, my studio photos are too dark to capture all of the tone on tone stitching. Solace is 3 feet by 6 feet. I will post proper photos by my photographer after the lockdown.

Sanctuary - Detail 2

Early in the morning when the neighborhood is just waking up, the smell of blooming star jasmine greets me. A bird hops along over the soft carpet of moss searching for breakfast while a breeze rustles the tree leaves. I am always welcomed and comforted by the embrace of my yard. Here I can finally breathe, sit, and be myself without judgment. Even when neglected, it never judges and waits patiently for my return. With time, love, and attention we heal each other. Sanctuary - A culmination of the shapes, colors, and shadows of the yards I have created and loved.
