Butterflies are Free

A woman leaping mid air with a swirling diaphanous gown, head tilted back, eyes closed and arms out stretched.  This is a woman who is at peace and is as free as the butterflies at her fingertips.  Her floating image makes us breathe deeply and wish we could join her. Her image is covered with ninety-seven colors of thread, blended to create a realistic portrait in fiber. The background is a montage of free motion embroidery.
