Deborah comments on her most recent work featured here:

“Late Bloomers” has a long history - the quilted panel itself was part of a triptych begun in 2011.  The finished work (Then and Now) ended up being a diptych - this third panel just didn’t work well with them. As the panel hung in full view on my design wall all those years, I had never been satisfied with a way to bring it to a finished work of art.  Recently I began playing with an idea incorporating a floral theme experimenting with many techniques before settling on this design of three dimensional fantastical blossoms in my imaginary garden.  A friend named it ‘Late Bloomers.’  It is probably the most representational art work I have ever executed, my usual style is to work in the abstract.

(Late Bloomers; cotton, silk, wool, beads; patchwork, machine quilting, hand embellishment; 38" h x 28" w x 0.5" d; $1800”)
