"Las calas de Valdivia" by Pilar Donoso was featured in the "In Full Bloom" exhibit at Houston 2025.
Artist Statement: "Color is my love language and my way of connecting with the world. Las calas de Valdivia was born in a fish market, where the vibrant colors of the lilies stood out against the metallic sheen of the seafood. The photo I took allowed me to capture that instant, and through quilting, I could truly reinterpret it and make it my own. Throughout the process, I observed nature in a new way, letting color guide me to create an emotional image."
Techniques: Machine Appliqué and Quilting
Design Source: Original Design
About the In Full Bloom Exhibit: "Just as quilters create beautiful art with fabric, florists and gardeners cultivate works of beauty from the soil. This exhibit showcases floral-inspired quilts from across the spectrum in lush color and splendor."
