Corlis Taylor learned quilting after she came to Alaska, then transferred her newfound skills into clothing she calls "wearable art." Approaching retirement from Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, where she's worked for twenty-seven years and serves as the education department manager, she reflects on her life, her art, and her Alaska experiences. She came north in 1979 as a Vista volunteer, moving from Florida to Bethel. “I thought, ‘Oh, what have I gotten myself into?,’” she said. What she found was home.
