On this unseasonally hot, 90 degree day, I hosted a garden tour for some clubs. Fortunately, most of my garden is in dappled shade so it was a little bit of a relief while I walked around all day with the visitors. I love sharing my garden and also love all the questions people ask that cover a wide range of interests. From, what is that flower, to what size is the garden, to when and how did you start gardening to where did you learn? I enjoy sharing the philosophy that is the underpinning of how I designed decades ago and how it’s evolved. I also love to talk about how the garden has influenced my life and my art. There is a seamlessness between the garden and the studio for me.

This is a daily journal of my creative efforts as I prepare for my June 2026 solo exhibition in Poughkeepsie, NY, and my November exhibition in Chelsea, New York City.
