My mother, Helen Campbell, loved Japanese and Chinese art, as evidenced by this copy she made of a Japanese painting. I adored it as a child and I still do now. Notice the precise beauty of the flowers, both the one in the woman's hand and those on the kimono. Even though it is a copy, it very obviously in her own style.

My mom made this in the 1970s in Winnipeg using scraps of cloth left over from other sewing projects. It is about five and a half feet in height.
