Significant Women In Western New York In 1984 I was commissioned by the YWCA of Buffalo to create their Corporate Award. I researched these women , made small screen printed portraits of them and one or two line statements about them. These were all put together as the award along with the recipients name and the date. This is not the hanging that I made for the YWCA. That had the screen prints on a soft light yellow fabric. The strip quilting around the prints was in patterned fabrics of dark red, black and the soft yellow. I never did photograph that piece, but I still have this one. I printed on a beige background and changed the color scheme. I added some feather stitching and other embroidery to this one.
1. Mary Elizabeth Lord was the wife of a Buffalo pastor. She would stop her pony carriage in front of over loaded wagons and just sit there until the driver would lighten the burden for his horse. She is shown here with her pet dog “Smallweed”. She formed the Buffalo SPCA in 1867.
