"I think of my studio as a vegetable garden where things follow their natural course."   JOAN MIRO

​

I have always loved the intimacy of walled gardens. Like the Secret Garden of childhood they are magical places filled with birdsong, warm air and simple pleasures to be discovered.

 

These small paintings come easily.  I try not to think, but let the paintings dictate where they want to go.  Along the way there's a gentle process of weeding, pruning and nurturing.  

​

They are inspired by natural forms, bird song and poetry.
