As a southwesterner, the swampland is a strange landscape to me. The light filtering in through the dense, dark, damp bottomland hardwood forest communities of Congaree National Park seemed like a fairyland.

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.
