Carnivorous Sundew plants and tillandsia bulbs, fossils and mosses all add up to a landscape from another planet!
Here’s my first attempt at an artist’s bio:
Plants are sentient, mysterious creatures from another kingdom, who will communicate with us if we can be still and pay attention. Building these Green Mansions is a long process, akin to writing poetry, I think. The colors and textures, as well as growth habits and tendencies of the plants are the palette with which I can construct the bones of a design to grow and change for years to come. I propagate many of the plants I use which gives me the time to get to know them individually, and imagine the container and companions that would be best with them.
The terrariums on exhibit range in age from 2 months to 4 years. They are similar to bonsai, with the plants kept in check with careful trimming. Some of the plants are miniature or very slow growing, needing no trimming. Others can be aggressive, resulting in a design that will be much more fluid over the years as the plants compete for resources and are shaped by my hand. You can see more about this on my website, or give me a call.
I open my studio to teach people about the art and science of building and maintaining terrariums, kokedama, and bonsai. In addition, I consult with people who want to learn about house plants and gardening in their own homes or offices, usually in half day sessions, and enjoy sharing my love for our green companions with people who have never considered or understood how to appreciate their beauty and life force. My students learn basic considerations for selecting plants for a particular space, and technical skills on handling, transplanting, watering, etc. which, once learned, open up the world of plants for most people to explore and enjoy.

I’ve been unpacking my shipment of plants to start building new terrariums. Take a look:
These tiny terrors are miniature tropical sundews in 2 inch pots. They are exotic and alluring, and irresistible to passing insects.
Stay tuned for photos of their new homes, which will be on display and for sale in April at the WKNO Gallery.
Interested in planting your own terrarium? The next workshops will be March 10 and 11, 2018. Find more info on the event page, or call me at 901-828-3685. Space is limited so don’t delay!
