"Purple Reign"
Robyn Mahone-Lonesome
60" X 80"
In the minds of many, Prince is the best guitarist out there. He is influenced by artists such as James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry and Little Richard, who are represented in this quilt. Tina Turner joins the men in the quilt because to me she represents rocks' female energy.
