Ars Longa, Flora Brevis: The Poetry Lover’s Garden inspires beautiful art
Artist Anne-Marie Butlin was so moved by my Poetry Lover's Garden at Chelsea 2017 that she made a series of stunning oil paintings which transform the ephemerality of the show garden into permanent artistic life, blending poetry, horticulture and painting.
