A Quilled Garden: The Art of Marie Boyd
This exhibition is a collection of wonderfully intricate cut-paper designs by artist Marie Boyd, and includes select original quilled illustrations from her newly published picturebook Just a Worm.
This STEAM-themed picture book explores the many wonderful and unique ways in which Worm and friends contribute to the garden and work together to make it grow. Just a Worm celebrates everyone’s individuality and highlights the importance of interdependence—how it’s necessary for a stable, collaborative, and healthy environment. Just a Worm was published in March 2023 by Greenwillow Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
