Artist Statement
A stroke of green, vibrant new life in the awakening landscape - Spring's First Shoot.

Techniques & Materials
Spring's First Shoot (title) began with hand dyed yardage created by Elin Noble - www.elinnoble.com. I loved the movement, and variety of colors the fabric contained and used the log cabin formation of the background to enhance these further. As a starting point, these blocks represented flowerbeds. My goal was to create an energetic background that was supportive of the focal point, one powerful line that captures that moment when the garden comes to life.
