FACES from my HEART
 Exhibit

July 1 through July 31, 2010

The inspiring fiber artwork of Mary Fisher was presented.
 
Artist * Author * Former UNAIDS Special Representative * International Public Speaker * AIDS Activist
 
Mary's African-inspired quilts with essays will move your heart.  The faces are real and will draw you in as Mary tells a story of suffering and hope with each image.
 
"She's an Orphan"
 
Mary writes of this quilt, "We think of them as distant and dirty, if we think of them at all.  In fact, they are like our own children when we call them in from play.  What's different is that we protect our children from all things harmful; she and her fellow orphans are safe from nothing that will prey on them:  hatred, hunger, disease, rape, greed.  An orphan does not lack simply parents:  she lacks everything needed to live."
