Inspired by the ambiance of summers on Grand Manan, NB, the maker applied her creative skills as a professional artist to mat hooking. She learned to hook from her grandmother and taught her daughter. This mat is notable for its combination of realistic landscape with imaginary motifs. It is made of new wool, nylon, cotton and cotton velour that has been hand‑cut.

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.
