About the Artists
Tony Anella and Cara McCulloch have been friends for forty years. They both grew up in Albuquerque and share a deep love for the land and culture of New Mexico. It is this love that inspires their creation of the Land Quilt. Today more than ever before, they believe there is a need to rediscover a more graceful way of interacting with the earth. Beauty, for them, is distinguished by this grace. It begins with a certain humility and a respectful attention to Nature, and ends with a sense of the infinite wonder of it all. As artists, they are interested in promoting a sense of beauty based on this wonder.
