JUNGLE, SOLITUDE, AND DREAMS
Through the eyes of a small town Midwestern American, this memoir describes how a pristine, remote area of Colombia was invaded by war and social change. With my husband, I homesteaded for years in his native land among jaguars and anacondas until the innocence of our isolated paradise was lost and the country whirled into chaos brought on by the insatiable appetite for cocaine coming from abroad, and the money it generated. Based on letters sent to my family and diaries kept during those years, this story has all the elements of a fascinating novel—adventure, danger, love—except—it really happened.

I painted scenes described in the book on fabric, then embellished the quilted borders with descriptive narration.
