Art has always been seen as a mirror, but for Julana Allen, it has become a bridge. The virtual winds on the May 4th at 12 PM SLT will carry beyond the scent of digital blooms-they will carry the essence of a garden rendered into pigment and light.
The Celtic Garden at Dragonfly Lake is a place of subtle detail where the world is spoken in the language of leaves and water. It is here that Julana Allen found her inspiration, not in the broad, sweeping landscapes, but rather the close, secret places of the land. A flash of light on a bloom, the textures of the ages on a stone, a movement of a dragonfly – these are the elements that began to whisper a story, a collection for Dragonfly Lake.
These are more than just observations rendered in watercolor. They are an interpretation of feeling. Each color has been laid in a manner designed to evoke the life and the calm of the Celtic spirit. The subtle magic that rests on the edge of the water, the sense of antiquity and life, Julana has transformed this onto paper.
To complement her work, the ceremony is also to be accompanied by the soothing tones of Carla Heartsong. She and Julana will ensure an evening of complete harmony.
Step into this quiet world at Dragonfly Lake, allow yourself a moment of tranquility, and know that this is a garden that is brought to life in color.
