Ysabel de la Rosa

My creative work is much like gardening.
It's about growing forms and sharing a harvest of meaning,
whether that meaning comes in words or visions or both.

Just as a gardener needs the soil, the sun, and the rain to create a garden, I count on the wisdom of those who have come before me and the providence of a divine power as primary to my work. 

We live in an age now where we are not only lost from the garden, but are dangerously close to the garden losing its very existence. 

We are at risk of losing our sense of wonder at the real, the natural, the gradual, and the gift. I hope to stay centered within the beautiful limits and natural discipline of gardening in my work, of being both a worker and a grower, to feel gratitude and humility as I sit beneath the branches of the tree of life.
