The Batik Art of Mary Edna Fraser

"Fraser's influential and distinctive artworks are spotlighted in this inspiring volume tracing the artist's development through art and textile history, as well as giving us a glimpse into the complex ancient techniques that produce them. It's a journey across local and global locations that demand our attention in today's world."—Dorothy Moye, Davis-Moye & Associates, reviewing a previous edition or volume

"Mary Edna's inspiration garnered from other historical artists is refreshing and informative. The descriptions of her batik process are clear and informative and can take the budding batik artist into greater competency. Then there is the inspiration of the mission, giving her art a greater purpose: to educate and inform us about what is happening to our barrier islands all over the world."—Joanna White, Fiber Vision Studio

"A behind the scenes look at the artist at work, The Batik Art of Mary Edna Fraser is an all-encompassing book that celebrates the art and life of Mary Edna Fraser. Cecelia Dailey illuminates who and what has influenced Fraser over the span of her brilliant career. Fraser's ability to evolve and absorb new influences and technology is part of her genius."—Marjory Wentworth, South Carolina poet laureate

"Fraser's batik-born vistas of our waterways, coastlines, glaciers and icebergs from the region and beyond are equally inviting in book form, and all the more so with commentary on the artist's journey by writer Cecelia Dailey."—The Post & Courier (Charleston)
