Each one of artist Carole Lyles Shaw’s quilts tells a story. The quilts also pay tribute to the quiet heroism and patriotism of African Americans, including nurses who bravely served in the field to care for wounded soldiers.
At a recent exhibition of her work and that of dozens of other quilters, Carole talked to Growing Bolder about these largely unknown heroes who risked their lives to care for others. She also celebrates the other story quilts that are a part of the traveling exhibit called And Still We Rise: Race, Culture and Visual Conversations and explains why she sees art as a hopeful act.
