Artist’s Statement: The quilt represents the actual size of the endangered Arctic wolf, which I love. The circular den is a sacred space, sanctuary, honouring and protecting family. Snow has pristine beauty, but speaks of harsh weather and challenges to survival. Fierce love unites family. The emblem carries the family initial and denotes four children.
