Winter Cabin, Living off the Grid

The garden shed of our tiny rented cabin was transformed into my art studio for one year while my husband taught as a visiting professor at Appalachian State University. I was surrounded by hillsides sprinkled with black cows and striped fields already harvested of summertime crops. I was able to create work during the fall and spring, happily resigning to a new form of art-sewing during the cold winter months in the mountains.
