Where the Cypress Grow is an original fabric painting inspired by the quiet, watchful beauty of Florida's wetlands.

The alligator and surrounding swamp are created from individually cut pieces of patterned and solid fabric, layered together to form the animal's colorful scales, reflections, grasses, and cypress knees. Tiny details in the face, feet, and vegetation reward a closer look, while the sweeping body and curled tail create a striking composition from across the room.

This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork created entirely with fabric using an adhesive/fusing technique—no sewing and no printed reproduction.
