I am a little apprehensive as I walk down the path and enter the shadowy cavern. The dimming light causes the shapes around me to become vague and indistinct and the air is still and musky. Eventually blackness is all around, and I feel all alone in immense sunless space. As I light my torch a wonderland appears around me; giant glistening sentinels standing tall, delicate straws hanging from the ceiling, curtains undulating above, the sound of dripping water, and beautiful color. This magnificent cave, hidden below the surface, is waiting for you to explore.
The WPA National Park posters had a distinctive style and were designed to entice Americans to travel around the country and appreciate the many wondrous things preserved in our parks. My original art quilt is done in the style of these historic posters.
