The original artwork from which this lithograph derives was commissioned by the Mayo Clinic Women’s Cancer Program. The verses chosen are from Proverbs chapter 31. The idea for this work was to create something that would be comforting and cheerful, that women of all nationalities and faiths could appreciate, and that would celebrate the strengths of women. The design is laid out in a patchwork fashion, to reference the quilt theme which already exists in the Cancer Center, and is itself a skill traditionally associated with women. The techniques used were gouache painting, an opaque form of watercolor, quilling, and gilding, which refers to the use of gold leaf, in this case, 23k gold. The lithograph was printed with archival paper and ink.
