My Quilt is on a Billboard

"Fireball" on a PA Artisan Trails Billboard
How cool is this?  An image from my art quilt “Fireball” is currently on a giant billboard just outside of Gettysburg, PA.
For years I’ve been a member of a local artist’s group, The PA Arts Experience, which has provided me with exhibit opportunities (and has been a wonderful way to meet other artists, who I now count as friends).  They are part of a larger group, PA Artisan Trails, which works to promote art tourism along several “Artist Trails” in different regions of PA.  Last year I answered a call to upload pictures and information into their online database, and their marketer chose my Fireball to use on this billboard because she liked the colors and graphic appeal, and also because I had provided a high quality image.

A unique photo op like this called for a road trip.   Here I am on the shoulder, heading eastbound on Rt. 30.

And here I am doing my best Vanna White impersonation.  There’s some glare from the sun in these photos; the quality of the image and the color reproduction was actually excellent, I was very impressed.

  15. Sue this is a wonderful public presentation and exposure for your art work and for recognition of fiber art/quilt art as art, by all who see this sign. Kudos to you in this fine accomplishment.
