"Trapunta "

Trapunta, has made her way safely to her home in Oxnard, California! 

She is a  representational piece,  a lady sitting quietly, looking down at her handy quilted work. She was sitting quietly in this green soapstone.  This sculpture created as a  tribute  to a wonderful women who has stitched her love into many quilts for her family and friends. 

Trapunta is carved from a green soapstone.  Metaphysically,the color  ‘green’ is the color for the ‘heart’ , the heart is the center of love. Initially she was named the  “Quilter” but I  thought  we needed a  name befitting fine art, so I decided to translate  our word  to Italian.   “Trapunta” was perfect.   Mrs. Wilson, the owner of this graceful lady, is quite happy!!!
