My experience from thirty years as a theatrical lighting and stage designer and a life-long fascination with plants and gardens, inform my garden designs. As a cub scout, I planted English ivy along my parents’ driveway, then later watched my father create a lovely woodland garden at our home in spite of that ivy.
Having enjoyed working with performing artists to enhance and present their material in the most effective ways, I also enjoy working closely with garden clients to create very personal designs that fulfill their needs and wishes for their own home landscapes.
I believe that our immediate environment has an enormous impact on the quality of our lives—physically, mentally, and spiritually. A beautiful and serene home garden lends beauty and serenity to the lives of its inhabitants.
My strong experience with visual design and presentation coupled with 20 years of horticultural experience enables me to create and maintain such environments for our clients.
