My sanctuary lies within a few steps of my own back door. Time
spent there brings a feeling of peace, hope and joy. A quiet antidote
to the anxiety brought on by our daily dose of turmoil and disaster.
 This series of paintings is a sample of the small living treasures, both
residents and visitors, that share this space. They are so diverse in
character, shape, color, pattern and texture that I would enjoy
continuing this journal of my own secret garden.
