To say that I’m connected and Inspired by Isaiah Zagar and his Magic Garden’s is an understatement.  I’ve been involved with his spaces, in many capacities, for more than a decade.  He is a gracious human who has triumphed as an Art maker and who whole heartedly supports fellow Art makers.  I’m so fortunate to have had the opportunity to capture these Images for PMG!

Excerpts from Phillymagicgardens.org :

“Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens (PMG) is a nonprofit art museum and gallery space located in Isaiah Zagar’s visionary art environment at 1020 South Street.”

“Spanning half a block, the museum includes an immersive outdoor art installation and indoor galleries. Zagar created the space using nontraditional materials such as folk art statues, found objects, bicycle wheels, colorful glass bottles, hand-made tiles, and thousands of glittering mirrors. The site is enveloped in visual anecdotes and personal narratives that refer to Zagar’s life, family, and community, as well as references from the wider world such as influential art history figures and other visionary artists and environments.”

“PMG has become a unique Philadelphia destination and hosts educational opportunities and diverse public programming to thousands of visitors each year.”
