A love affair with Provincetown’s night gardens…

Provincetown is famous for showcasing gardens of all types and sizes. This monotype, “Glory in the night garden” (shown here during the printmaking “reveal”) focuses on the changing light, varying forms, and shifting tones I view while meandering through Provincetown’s gardens at night on walks with my dog, Pepper. Night garden experiences take on a very different feel than daytime sojourns for the botanically inclined. In this series, I prefer a primarily abstract approach as it allows for a freedom of expression that figurative depiction does not accommodate for me regarding this subject. My work is about exploring the progression of color and shape with the embrace of unpredictable movements and combinations. These works celebrate unexpected and sometimes confusing beauty in a way that may possibly support people to conjure questions about form and wonder.
