Fortuitously living near a town where the mayor wanted to cultivate the arts and promoted ‘Land’art’ in his community as a goal along with community gardens, Ann Mary came into contact with this association at the point where one walk path that had been decorated by paid professional artists was being extended to a walk path intended to be embellished by amateur artists and locals.  In 2008 Ann Mary tried a fresco of a little door on a tree in her own garden.  It actually lasted two years.  The image was sufficient for permission to put a large door on an old oak on the walk path in 2009 and this fresco is still there in pieces but greatly deteriorated. Subsequently Ann Mary was asked to take over as President of the Association which she ran for ten years, finally managing to pass on the mantle to somebody else.  During those years, artists and artisans were paid if they shared expertise with the amateurs and specific projects were undertaken with the model of workshops to teach skills such as basket making, Didgeridoo painting on bamboo stems, frescoes on cement blocks in training and then trees, pottery cones for totem poles with decoration using themes of flora and fauna, dyeing fabrics with plants from the trail and using techniques to make pattern, then creating patchwork pieces for geometric frames for hanging outside. The amateurs themselves created many objects using corks from the region and the final project was finishing a metal horse sculpture made in concert with us by Amy Goodman in England.
