A window into my studio...My garden is a place of renewal. It helps me unwind and create. I go outside from my studio everyday when I'm home to play with the plants and my cats, sister & brother Sweet Azalea and Frank. The garden elements are just another medium, you know, instead of paint and paper we create with dirt, flora and stone.

My husband and son also create in the garden. They are both mechanically inclined and have built some beautiful iron sculptures and birdhouses. They run through the half-acre garden with weed wackers, power saws and lawnmowers while I work the details.

I found this quote in a New Zealand Home and Garden article:

"Hortus in Excelsis"

It's so true!
