"The artist is not a special kind of person; rather each person is a special kind of artist." --Ananda Coomaraswamy

A Gardener's Gift

“A few casual remarks first brought the little city park to my attention. I’d meant to check it out, but now several weeks had passed and I still hadn’t made the trip over to San Francisco. The day I found it, after poring over a city map with a magnifying glass, the sky was overcast. My first glimpse into the park revealed a crowd of wooden sculptures integrated into the landscaping. Making my way into the park, I was shocked to see so many pieces of art. It was a city park, after all. At least I thought so. But looking around, I found this hard to believe.” So begins this fascinating interview that gradually unravels the mystery of a humble gardener and his incredible gift.
