"Water Dance: Oconaluftee" by Nancy Hershberger won Second Place, Innovative at the 2021 Virtual Spring Quilt Festival.
Artist Statement: "In September 2019, I visited Great Smoky Mountains National Park, fully expecting to be blown away by spectacular mountain vistas. Yes, the vistas were spectacular, but what caught my eye was the way water danced and sparkled throughout it. Creeks and rivers that ran along-side the road, waterfalls at the end of a challenging trail; at Great Smoky Mountains National Park water becomes debutante and the Park her cotillion."
