Artist-gardener or gardener-artist? Although she divides her time equally between these two art forms, Kate Corbett-Winder is first and foremost an artist. Like many artist-gardeners, she uses her garden as a laboratory for her art; her flower beds are constantly evolving – living palettes for experiments in colour, texture and tone, structure and layout, testing grounds for studying the effects of light and shadow at different times of day and in different seasons of the year.

ARMENIAN-AMERICAN DRAFTSMAN AND PAINTER

It is not exactly known when Arshile Gorky was born. 1904 is widely accepted as the year of his birth, but the precise date remains a mystery because the artist adopted the habit of changing his birthday, year after year, while residing in New York. As a child, the artist survived the genocide of the Armenian people by the Ottoman Turks. With his family displaced and dispersed, Gorky's mother died of starvation in Gorky's arms in 1919. His father, however, had escaped the Turkish military draft by moving to the United States in 1908 and settling in Providence, Rhode Island. Gorky would join his father in 1920 at the age of 15 after leaving the war-ridden territory of the collapsed Russian Empire.
