A graceful tree stretches its branches across this charming quilt, its vivid green leaves standing in beautiful contrast to a cheerful border of red blossoms. Two small birds perch quietly among the branches, bringing a sense of life, hope, and harmony to the scene.
Trees are a recurring theme in Haitian folk art, symbolizing shelter, resilience, and the enduring connection between people and the natural world. Through simple forms and vibrant fabrics, Micheline Salomon captures the beauty found in everyday scenes and the deep appreciation Haitians have for the land that sustains them.
This original one-of-a-kind folk art quilt by Micheline Salomon is entirely hand-appliquéd and hand-stitched in Haiti, reflecting the rich artistic traditions and remarkable craftsmanship of Haitian women artists. Each quilt is a unique work of art, created with care, creativity, and a spirit of optimism. 19"(H)x21"(W). A complimentary copy of exhibition book Patience To Raise the Sun is included with your purchase.
