Maxfield Parrish
Maxfield Parrish had such a way of painting twilight and trees - be sure to see
Lull Brook Winter and all the other images on this comprehensive site of Parrish's work (Art Renewal Center).
Alphonse Mucha
Also on the Art Renewal site lives a good collection of Mucha's work. My favorites are his art nouveau stylized illustrations
of women, such as
Winter.
Beatrix Potter
Who could not like naturalist Beatrix Potter's illustrations and paintings, based on her own pets, and
observations of wildlife and surrounding landscapes!
Ruth McDowell
Ruth's amazing art quilts - all pieced "the traditional way"!
Valerie Hearder
Her stunning landscape quilts made with hand-dyed fabric were an early inspiration to me.
Margaret Roberts
Margaret's exquisite small fiber art landscapes are amazing. All that color and detail with little strips of
fabric and thread. I first discovered the beauty of this English artist's work in an issue of Quilting Arts magazine.
Lauren Camp
Lauren Camp's Fabric of Jazz series - wow. Another quilt artist I discovered early on while I was poking around the web looking
up what art quilting really is. I'm sorry I missed her exhibits in the PA area because we had already moved away by then.
