Deborah Baronas' Riverbed collection for Benartex reflects her artistic training as a fine oil painter at the Rhode Island School of Design. The fabric motifs have the soft, flowing look of oil paintings and depict Deborah's memories of time spent with her father along the Massachusetts river where she was raised. She calls the fabric a collection of memories caught in time: dragonflies poise in the air, minnows swim through the water, and rocks shimmer in the sun. Hand-painted sky and water textures complete the picture.

Similar in style to French Impressionist painter Henri Matisse, Blank Quilting’s Matisse Collection uses flat, angular patterns and bright colors. The composition creates layers of color and dimension in lively all-over prints. The Essence Collection by Karen Combs was inspired by the overlapping ripples generated in a pool of water when it rains. Imagining those rippling pools filled with light and color became the basis for
a complex and vibrant design.

Australian Aboriginal designs arise from a heritage that goes back 5000 years. Much of Aboriginal history exists in the form of The Dreaming Stories, which explain all of life and are central to their culture and relationship to the natural world. Aboriginal art developed from the use of Dreaming Story symbols to tell stories. Today sand paintings and ground mosaics have been replaced by paintings on canvas. The abstract dot-and-circle designs, based on traditional Dreaming Stories, have become a trademark of the contemporary Aboriginal art movement.
