Artist Commentary

Label

"The inspiration for the design came from when I was visiting my uncle shortly before his death. There was a single large beautiful rose outside his room, which I had never seen before. After he died, the image of the rose stayed with me, and I wanted to let many more roses like it bloom in my quilt."
