Through the Garden
This book is a personal memoir of my mother's garden as I remember it growing up. It's a special place for me—I played there as a child, with friends, with cousins, with my brother. We had family celebrations there. I watched it change from season to season for 17 years. In an attempt to capture and share some of this nostalgia, I hand-painted 20 gouache paintings of plants I remember in the garden, hand-lettered the titles, and self-published this book.
