Leanne McGiveron of Sumac Studios tells the story of ’Ireland Inspired’ … how color bridges my work in travel photography with my Celtic knot textile/quilt pieces.

Ireland Inspired is a multi-year project that is a story about two parallel artistic medians that was interlaced into a single exhibit.  The first, textile arts, translates a series of Celtic knots from Ireland’s Book of Kells.  The second, visual arts, involves the love for travel photography. The interlacing occurs when Ireland’s rich colors captured through photography are infused into the textile art of appliqué.
