"She's a Holy Woman" is a quilt from the "Faces from my Heart' Collection by Mary Fisher. The quilt is rich with browns, earthen tones, greens, and a border of purple. The face is photo-transferred from a photo taken by Mary Fisher in Africa. The face is framed with a border of bead trim. The fabric in this quilt is embellished with wood-cuts and lino-cuts created by Mary Fisher. Finished size is 39" wide by 44' high. The sleeve on the back facilitates hanging. Mary has created a warm and touching quilt in "She's a Holy Woman." The cross on her forehead is machine quilted and reminds one of the holiness evident in the face of this woman. The artist statement is as follows: We name our gods in life: money, fame, power. Sometimes we reach higher to touch something named "God" in some traditions. This woman knows that Higher Power. She draws on power to touch others, to heal them, to lift their spirits and redeem their lives from destruction. She is not Mother Teresa. But she shares this with that famed saint: She's a holy woman. You can hear her calling: "Come, worship."
