"Electric Faerie of the Getty Garden" by Shelia Frampton Cooper was in the "Good for You" exhibit at Houston 2011.
Sheila created Electric Faerie of the Getty Garden for the International Quilt Festival Special Exhibit: Good for You 2011. This was an international juried and judged exhibition of art quilts where the theme was Good for You - as in, "What's good for you? Chocolate, wine, video games?" As long as the quilt spoke to the theme, it was acceptable.
Artist Statement: "Few things bring more balance and peace to my life than the beauty of nature. I live near the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, which features amazing art and a magical garden, where I created the original drawing. I feel that everything has an essence, a spirit, something most people cannot see, but energy you can feel. That energy often takes the form of little beings that visit me."
