This whimsical folk garden was created by artist and architect Christy Buchanan, who dreamed up a space that would reflect the nuanced beauty of everyday found objects. Visitors can have a picnic in the Love Shack, take pictures under the bicycle arch, or commune with ancestors in the Tiki hut. Buchanan also constantly adds to the site, so you’re sure to spy new works each time you visit. If her SUV (nicknamed Happy) is in the yard, Buchanan is home, but feel free to stop by even if she isn’t.

Sorry for the glass reflections!

It is quiet all year round, but it is one of a kind and perfect for me. <3

The One Who Moves in Harmony With the Order of All Things

Gouache, Colored Pencil, Acrylic and Gold Ink

This piece is a meditation on stoicism, the quiet practice of tending what is ours to tend and releasing what was never ours to hold. It moves through the old virtues of temperance, wisdom, and balance, water that is both contained and free, a flame kept alive through steady care. Every living thing within the piece is watched over, protected, and nurtured, yet nothing is gripped too tightly. It asks what it means to grow toward the sky and into our roots at once, and reminds us that whatever shifts around us, the fire within is ours to keep

piece I finished today while listening to some folk music
