In the Natural Order

Art in the Garden.
This impressive installation was produced by
conceptual artist
Lynn Hutton.
It has a presence and size which fits within a landscape setting.
(I am 5ft 6").
Each metal strut has a verse.
Three being,
'Let the dry land appear'.
'Let ther be light'
and
'Let the land produce plants and vegetation'.
All grounded in a bed of slate.
To see more of Lynn Hutton's work

Stitch in Time

Art in the Garden.
Being a textile inspired artist this installation
by Julia Sheila.
I was lucky enough to meet Julia and talk
art, cameras and textiles.
She is a very vibrant artist.

Elements of Life

Art in the Garden.
This installation is by Liz Murfit.
Such a clever use of the Garden gazibo and the
modern plastics of life.

Ewe and Lamb

Art in the Garden.
This is the work of sculpture Andrew Williams
and was on the pillar plinth of a garden path
opening.
Beautiful in the sunlight!

Sculpture

Art in the Garden.
This wooden sculpture was made by Claire Heath.
'Bringing Nature to the world of people'
This as really impressive in this space.
You can see why it had already been sold.
Claire likes to work with reclaimed and weathered materials.

With a gallery of artwork,studio and amazing garden filled with art.
