Sacred Space


When I first encountered beech trees in England, their magnificent silver grey trunks reminded me of the stone columns in Gothic cathedrals. For much of my life, whenever I felt a need for spiritual renewal, I have found it in forests, mountains, deserts, on rivers and beside the ocean.

This quilt expresses my experience of sacred space in the natural world. The archway opens into infinite light. Quakers call this "the inner light". I visualize it as an ocean of creative energy.
