A few months back I moved my studio from the "big" church into the little building,
better known as the congregation hall, where I share a space with the owners:
interior designer, Wanda Crossley and artist and illustrator, Kevin Chadwick,
of Matthews House and Garden. The church is now an antique shop.

Wanda has created such pretty little gardens around the buildings and
Kevin is truly Edward Scissor Hands with the clippers and pruning shears.

He has shaped all of the boxwood into beautiful topiary and pleached the trees in the gardens.
A pretty side view of the little garden looking toward the church.
Four meyeri lilacs surround the beautiful boxwood bird centerpiece,
which is under planted with succulents and dwarf variegated boxwoods.
The meyeri lilac standards just finished blooming. They have the tiniest florets and are so fragrant.
Triple ball boxwood topiaries line the side entrance.
It's a lovely place to work and I will certainly let you know if
I ever host a little open studio or offer a workshop.

What a beautiful studio space.
You are three very talented people.
If I ever find myself in Virginia that would be a great place to see. My friend and fellow artist lives in Dublin, Virginia.
Those gardens have a little touch of magic about them; just right for artistic inspiration.
Artist & Bella: It is an inspiration, for sure!
