From gathering wild flowers as a child to working within my present garden for the past 12 years, I have always felt a pull to get my hands dirty and 'create' within the natural setting. Garden Artscapes began in 1997, motivated by a need to find a statue or something to symbolize the death and life of my beloved Grandmother who had died the previous year. Unable to find what my inner thoughts and feelings wanted ignited the thought of bringing into reality a store which would offer unique and artistic pieces, items which portray meaning and are made by local and regional individuals.

Today Garden Artscapes works with over 20 artists, many of whom have become good friends and trusted acquaintances. I truly appreciate each individual's integrity of creative artistry as well as quality. I work to represent and promote their work as well as work in partnership towards product development of my ideas or ideas and needs which my customers request. Many artists are more than happy to also do custom work for one's unique setting, area or need.

In addition to the artistic pieces, my explorations and travels take me around the Northwest and to England on buying trips where I bring back vintage and antique accessories.  These pieces are truly one-of-a kind. And while somewhat more expensive than the newer items, they are truly exquisite and "works-of-art" in the garden setting.

Gardens enchant and delight us because they represent through symbolic form, feelings, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and spiritual connections. Poets and philosophers, artists and those with imagination have throughout history and within all cultures, transcribed the 'unlanguable' into form and substance. For us, the gardener, it is within the garden where we are allowed to be the creative artist; to utilize the forms of earth and water, plants and rock, and of course, garden art, as our mediums of expression.
