Gardens of Awe and Folly Author Vivian Swift
Out of all the books I’ve enjoyed under the category ‘gardening’ this book truly captures the essence of a treasured growing space. ‘Gardens of Awe and Folly : A traveler’s journal of the meaning of life and gardening’ will captivate anyone who enjoys the outdoors and appreciates the art found within the journey through a garden. In this video hear from the author Vivian Swift. You will be amazing at how she came about being an illustrator in her career.

Gardens of Awe and Folly By Vivian Swift
This is a collage from Vivian’s adorable blog. She shared with during the presentation linked above that she works in very small ‘snack like’ sizes when creating the artwork for her publications. The interview with Vivian really inspired me to start taking more notes in my garden. Sometimes you think you have to work HUGE to get the message across but this Illustrator shows different.

Bren Recommends Vivian Swift Publication
It was an honor to connect with Vivian Swift and hear about her journey traveling to gardens. To view her interpretation as a non-gardener really opened my eyes to way I paint my landscape images with plants.
