The Heart Thread, in progress. Final painting of the series.

This one feels like a little doorway into the heart of the Garden. Still a ways to go, but I’m starting to see where it’s taking me.

The Dreaming Garden opens October 12.

Somewhere past an old stone gate, in a world that dreams alongside our own, a garden is dimming. A white deer walks into it, uncertain she belongs there, and one by one its guides give her back the courage to become who she already was.

I’ve been carrying this story around for a long time. It feels strange and wonderful to finally say that soon you’ll be able to walk into it too.

The paintings, the storybook, and the first pieces from this world will all be there. If you’d like to arrive early, I’m opening a waiting list — early access on October 10, before the Garden opens to everyone else.

She opens her arms. And the Garden answers.

This is She Opens Her Arms, the sixth painting in The Dreaming Garden.

The moment Elleryn finally stops moving through the Garden as a stranger. After everything she has encountered, remembered, and gathered along the way, she opens herself to it completely.

And the Garden responds.

This painting was one of the most challenging in the series to compose. There is so much happening around her, but everything needed to lead back to that one gesture: her arms opening, her body becoming part of the Garden rather than simply passing through it.

And at her feet, Luna begins to dissolve.

I think this is the moment Elleryn finally has room to carry what has been waiting for her.

I’m getting very close to the end of the story now.

The Dreaming Garden opens this autumn.

The part where the painting starts to speak.

I’m adding the final ink details to She Opens Her Arms: lines, patterns, botanical details, and all the little marks that bring the different layers into one visual language.

I never know exactly how much ink a painting needs until I get here. Some things want to be clearly drawn. Others are better left to dissolve into the paint.

There are still a few details left to add, but she’s beginning to feel complete.

This one has been a particularly interesting painting to build. There is so much happening around Elleryn, but the whole point is that she is finally opening herself to it.

A little more of the person behind the paintings.

I’ve spent a long time letting the work speak for me while I stayed mostly behind the scenes. But lately I’ve been thinking about how much of an artist’s world lives alongside the work. Like the books piled around the studio, the half-finished paintings, the references taped to the wall, and the four-legged studio assistant who insists on being involved.

So, hello. I’m Elizabeth.

This is me in my studio with my baby boy Finley Bo Monkey (who is definitely not a senior), somewhere in the middle of making The Dreaming Garden. There are usually paintings in progress, too many art books within reach, and a Bo Monkey curled up on one of his many beds.

Welcome to my world. I’m going to try being a little more visible around here.

The collage stage, which is where the architecture for the painting is developed.

The background is already down, all the loose atmospheric passages, and now the shapes go on top of it. I used to let collage disappear into the layers around it, but I’ve decided to stop doing that. I want you to see the seams. That rawness and history is exciting to me.

This is the sixth painting of the Dreaming Garden.

The hummingbird is beginning to gather her feathers.

This layer is mostly colored pencil. Small marks, quiet color shifts, and textures that probably disappear from a distance, but somehow make the whole painting feel more alive.

She’s almost ready to leave the page.

I collect art books the way some people collect seeds.

They’re everywhere in my studio. Stacked on my desk. Lined across shelves. Open on the dining table. More are still packed away in boxes from our move, waiting for the day I have enough shelves to bring them all home.

I don’t think of them as references so much as companions.

When I’m stuck, I don’t usually search for an answer. I wander. I flip pages without much of a destination until something quietly catches me. A border ornament from a Persian manuscript. A botanical illustration from two centuries ago. The shape of a cloud. A color combination I never would have invented on my own. Sometimes it’s a whole composition. More often it’s just a tiny detail that changes the direction of a painting.

One book I’ve been returning to again and again while working on The Dreaming Garden is Garden & Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodhpur.

At first I bought it because the title felt like it belonged in my studio. But the paintings inside have become just as important. I love the way they celebrate the flatness of the page instead of trying to create the illusion of depth. Every inch is alive with pattern, ornament, color, and symbolism. The world feels less like a window you’re looking through and more like a sacred tapestry you’re invited to enter.

It’s been gently reshaping the way I think about my own paintings, and I can already see its influence beginning to bloom throughout The Dreaming Garden.

The blue went in and she opened up.

Jieru-chunuu, mid-flight through her own arch of vines and moonlight. Blue ginger and lotus flowers finding their color below her. Not finished yet — more detail still to come.

She’s coming together slowly, flower by flower.

Jieru-chunuu, the hummingbird. This is the fifth painting of the Dreaming Garden.
