"Sheep Sorrel on South Turtleback" art quilt by Ann Peterson
The Orcas Island Artworks features pictorial quilts by Ann Peterson through February and March.
Ann’s textile pieces are based on photographs taken on Orcas Island. She uses stitching, fusible applique, ink printing and hand painting to create her images.
“I hope to stimulate memories of a certain time or place on the island. I am striving to bring the viewer into a closer look at the natural world and the beauty of not only the larger scene but also the small and intimate. The addition of thread and stitching invites the viewer to take a closer look.”
The Artworks reopens for the new season Saturday, February 18 and will be open daily from 10 to 5.
