A Bit of Earth, 2023
A R T W I T H H E A R T: I am the Owner and Visionary of Artfolios. Artfolios is my family's passion project. Through it, we support our artists with our time and talents. The net proceeds of the sells my artworks listed "Art with Heart" will be gifted back to Artfolios to assist in our mission: to showcase a curated collection of artists and art as diverse as our community through this online gallery, exhibits, and collaborations within our community.
Artist: Carrie Leigh Dickey
About the Artwork:
“However many years she lived, Mary always felt that she should never forget that first morning when her garden began to grow.”
“A bit of earth,
She wants a little
Bit of earth,
She’ll plant some seeds.
The seeds will grow,
The flowers
Bloom, their beauty
Just the thing she needs.”
This artwork is accompanied by text from “The Secret Garden” a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett and text from the musical “The Secret Garden” with book and lyrics by Marsha Norman and music by Lucy Simon. May these thoughts be entry points into the artwork.
