"Oak and Rose" by Beckey Prior, and Quilted by Jackie Brown, won Third Place - Pictorial-Large at Houston 2024.
Artist Statement: "Oak and Rose is my interpretation of Beauty and the Beast. Hand-drawn, painted, and inked, the characters were hand appliquèd in Tudor costumes surrounded by a hand appliquèd Broderie Perse rose arbor in a moonlit forest glade filled with Jackie Brown's hand-guided quilted trees. Small moths flutter through the scene as Oak courts Rose with the gift of her namesake flower. Will she accept him?"
