My Secret Garden opens June 29th at the Clifton Park-Half Moon Public Library. This solo exhibit was created to hang right outside the Children's Library for the month of July.
The series was inspired by memories of long summer days spent lying in the grass, looking for fairies and reading stacks of library books in the garden with my young daughters. Everything seemed so vibrant and magical in the garden and that’s the feeling I want to evoke with these paintings.
Using watercolors, fluid acrylics, collage papers
and ink I created whimsical and playful flowers hoping to delight children of
all ages. All works are on watercolor paper, two with a gesso base. For each
painting I used a minimum of two mediums and several have all four.
Can’t you just imagine the fairies and gnomes that would be hiding in a garden like this?
These are just two of the paintings in My Secret Garden series.
