It is a gallery without a roof or walls. It is nature with unnatural forms.
As nature is often cited as having inspired a particular work of art, few venues then facilitate the connection between the subject, the artist and the art appreciator more congruously than a sculpture garden.
In a traditional gallery, lighting, paint and the structure’s overall tone contribute to the experience one takes away from viewing art in that environment.

Art viewed in a garden is subject to the whimsy of the elements. It can look different to you on a daily basis. How you felt about one sculpture in spring with the backdrop of happy birds reunited from a trip south, flowers blooming and your own lilt of the season can be entirely different in the fall, with winter’s chill in the breeze, and mellow leaves blowing by.
On the following pages, you are invited to take a visual stroll through local gallery owner Gail Severn’s sculpture garden to enjoy what a photographer saw over several days and months last year.
