Lucretia Romey Obituary

Artist Commentary

Label

"This 'Cityscape' was inspired by sketches I did of the Toronto skyline from the seventh floor of the Westbury Hotel. I have always liked the geometry of groups of buildings. All of my wall quilts are a result of drawings done in my yard or while traveling and my studio is set up half for painting and half for quilting. Some of my quilts have small painted areas, and some of my paintings feature quilts. My husband teaches oceanography and we travel a great deal. This quilt is one of a series of cityscapes that are now all in various corporate and private collections."
