Ted Harrison painted Canadian landscapes from the 1970s - mostly of the Yukon where he lived until 1993. He then moved to Victoria, BC and lived there until his passing in 2015. He illustrated many books including O Canada which is an engaging pictorial tour from east to western sea. I was in touch with Ted Harrison to get permission to emulate his style as a textile artist. He encouraged me (and thousands of teachers and school children) to paint our landscape as he saw it - wild, exciting, and colorful. I started and finished this felted and stitched textile hanging just weeks after he passed away. It is a real treasure. I really wish I had met Ted Harrison in person like many privileged Victorian residents. Just in case the viewer thinks this is "the real thing", I feel confident to say that Mr Harrison did not work with wool felt very much, if at all.

When I am not physically in a remote outdoor setting, I transfer my wishes into fabric art that serve to transport me into a beautiful setting. Since most of my art reflects this practice I'm thrilled when the viewer shares that experience.
