New artwork in Boundary Waters series
Boundary Waters 44
This is the third of three related Boundary Waters pieces. It features one of my all-time favorite photos of me in the Boundary Waters taken by my sister, Nancy. I know that I have some coffee in my red mug, I have on my lucky blue bandana, and I’m just sitting there with a blank mind seeing what there is to see. If I’m wound up about something in life, I take out that photo and try to be there again in that calm and silent spot.
Boundary Waters 44 is a 13×12.25″ art quilt mounted to a custom-made 16×16″ stretched canvas. Materials include white cotton fabric, acrylic paint, artist’s photos inkjet printed on silk organa, ink, colored pencil, graphite, and rayon thread. It is collaged, colored, lettered and stitched.

Boundary Waters 43
The eagle is, of course, a powerful totem. But it holds additional meaning for me as it has more than once appeared at a special moment in a Boundary Waters trip and seemed to add a type of blessing to our voyage. Boundary Waters 43 is also available; see my website for details.
Boundary Waters 42 – Collection of Mary Wise
These three artworks contain some of my favorite images from the Boundary Waters. You can see some of their other incarnations here.
