A Creative Resident at Bloedel Reserve in 2018, Jenny Maybee has created a stunning 30-day photo essay documenting her experience here. Jenny is a nationally recognized pianist, vocalist, and composer/arranger.
Her recent release, Love Letters from the Garden, is a book of art and poetry accompanied by a full album of music that was also inspired by her time at the Reserve.
Here is a short poem from that collection:
I invite you into this gate
Leave your longing behind
Behold the ecstasy of your thoughts
When they are freed from swimming in sadness
Leaping like a bright orange flash
A koi springing from its home
To catch the moon
