Artist's Statement:

From the inspiration of Anna Mary Millrde's quilt in The Quilt Index. This woman lived in Germany then immigrated to the US; her quilt was made between the years of 1930-1949 a time of great upheaval, yet her quilt was alive with color and optimism. She inspired this quilt called "Fractured Light & Water". When I looked at her quilt, in my mind's eye this is what I saw.
