INTERTWINED | ||
Some 30 years ago, unbeknownst to me, I began to belong to a two-acre garden that would design my life adventure. We were a young family when we moved to a property blessed with rock less topsoil, a perfect climate, and dreams to grow. |

After all those years, one thing I know: An artist's life is filled with many footpaths; occasional serendipity; numerous setbacks; bliss. I rarely know how one passion will lead to the next. My garden grew into a collection of uncommon perennials, into a celebrated grower nursery (Bouquet Banque), into a passion for natural design, into two sustainable acres of glorious fiber plants into a partnership with Bill Roeder of cultivated labours, growth & energies comingled in purpose, into a teaching school (Fishsticks Basketry), into a joy-filled exploration of artistic expression in weaving and weeding, working and writing. It is a dynamic mystery to me, belonging to a garden. |
