These recent works pay homage to their origins; drawing from an eclectic set of gardens carrying meaningful connections to personal history which hint at metaphorical relationships toward simplicity, strength, resilience, fragility and renewal.The diverse locations from which these memories are traced are landscapes saturated in light and space, often connected to gardens of childhood and the fluid coastal environs of adult life

Gardens have been a constant, providing a space for nurture, familiarity and renewal, whether they be my own or those visited. A residency in the 1990’s in The Hampton's, New York, but more recently Monet’s garden in Giverny, and frequently visited as part of a Cite des Arts residency, triggered both memory and a renewed interest which continues to provide an extension of these important ideas.
