Karin Stanley gathers inspiration from her love of poetry, art, and sculpture and from her travels and musings in Ancient Ireland, Scotland and other countries. She creates meditative spaces, areas for serenity, healing, reflection, dynamic impact, drama, humor or allegory. Her background as an artist/sculptor and garden designer and a graduate of the Radcliffe landscape design and history program enables her to share some of her process and practical ideas and advice on how to use sculpture and artistic enhancements in your own garden, community or public project. This Thursday, July 13 Massachusetts Horticultural Society lecture will take place at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street in Wellesley, beginning at 7 pm, and is $12 for Mass Hort members, $20 for nonmembers.
