Mangroves

Since I draw so much inspiration for my work from the natural world, I’ve come to realize I owe this…

Irrational Obsession

I fit one artist stereotype quite well — I was never a math star. Far from it. I stumbled through…

Arriving at My Own Door

I do regret the energy I spent trying to prove that I had something to offer. It made me vulnerable…

Here's a little of the great poet #elizabethalexander as you head out of the weekend. "What if the mightiest word is love, love beyond marital, filial, national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no need to preempt grievance. In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made, any sentence begun. On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp -- praise song for walking forward in that light."">

I always grow a little melancholy when the flowers fall into their big sleep and the leaves are gone. The antidote? I plant bulbs and start plotting out moves for the next season and that lifts me right out of the blues. Over the years my purple and blue flowers have been dominating the color field, so I’m trying to heat things up with yellows and pinks and reds starting with my bulb empire. These sunflowers and asters prove that the best color theory instruction is often underfoot. Is your garden design guided by climate, texture, whim or color? Or all of the above?">
