Josie Martin has had a 40 year successful career as a contemporary painter and has been an art resident in 20 countries. The inspiration for a mosaic sculpture garden happened by accident when she dug up broken china on her property. Soon she was assembling, painting and transforming shards into flamboyant designs while cultivating her terraced grounds. Yet even tireless artists need an occasional moment of repose. Contentment is sitting in a garden alcove on a gorgeous New Zealand afternoon eating fresh, succulent strawberries.
