With a Master's Degree in Fine Arts-Sculpture, my excess creative energies eventually spilled over into gardening while witnessing the transmutation of minute seeds into large 3D forms. Exterior gardening and dabbling with bonsai was an enjoyed hobby for years. With this came decades of accumulating more traditional gardening experience (Oregon, Florida, Sweden) though employing mostly Biodynamic-French Intensive methods...but recently I have been further enlightened and ensnared within the realms and wisdom of the permaculture philosophy... all from a chance encounter with G. Lawton/B. Mollison, through YouTube videos.

"I will now stop to take a deep breath, enjoy a moment of relaxation and feel the warmth of the sun kiss my face, while allowing nature to proceed with my labors, in her own reliably efficient fashion."

Having just rejuvenated and renovated our late 1800's adobe house I am presently studying, observing, planning and working in the transformation of our recently acquired property into a self-sustaining food forest, and hopefully a model for others in this area.
