NBMR2009.7.1 | mat
The maker's grandson was the inspiration for this mat. The figure in the foreground is Valmond Leger, her grandson, with his dory looking at the lighthouse on the shore at Buctouche, NB. The image is superimposed on the Acadian flag. An incredible original design for a 93‑year‑old artist.

Possibly a Pearl McGown design adapted by Doris Maxwell, the mat hooking was started in Waltham, MA, by her sister, Eva Lockwood prior to 1970. It, and the materials to complete it, were inherited in 1984 by her niece, Nancy, who finished it in New Brunswick. Typical of a Pearl McGown pattern it features fine shaded floral and foliate motifs.

NBMR2009.3.5 | mat
The material for this mat was hand dyed and some of it came from her husband's naval uniform. The realistic shading of the roses is enhanced by the choice of dark background. Roses were a favourite subject of the artist because of a family connection.
