Two days ago I completed my second sketchbook project for the Brooklyn Art Library, and yesterday it began the journey to its new home.
It’s not your usual sketchbook. It’s a pocket mural. I made it to open like an accordian. Hold one cover in each of your hands, open your arms, and there it is, one long garden. Close it up, turn it over, open again, and the garden continues on the second side.
I am so very happy with how the drawings turned out, all colour, play, and joy. My heart loves the garden I created, and I can feel how my body longs to be in the midst of it for real, climbing and playing. I wonder if someone makes adult-sized swing sets with a glider and slide? I think I need one.
I can’t hold my garden in my hands any longer, but I can hold it in my heart and share it. Here is The Secret Garden. Join me! Come and play!

Absolutely gorgeous and stunning! Fantastic work and it is wonderful that it is winging its way to a wider audience 😁

Thank you! It really was fun to draw. I did have to get past the trying-to-plan-and-control stage, before I went with my intuition and let my imagination have its way. xo
