If I Close My Eyes I Can Fly - 24 x 35

Artist's Statement: Last summer I watched my eight year old granddaughter run down the dock, then, eyes closed, leap high into the air.  In those few seconds she was flying.

As a child, I remember the brief, sheer elation of flight and the certainty that, if I practiced enough, eventually the seconds would stretch into minutes and I would fly.

Medium/ Technique: Layered  raw edge appliqué, machine quilted.
