About the Author
As an avid gardener, Lee Anne has broken ground and more than a few shovels in Georgia's red clay and Connecticut's rocky loam, explored hundreds of gardens from coast to coast and across the pond, and learned from some of the best landscape architects, garden designers and horticulturists in the country. In addition to writing six books on landscape and garden design, she served as the series editor for the Fine Gardening Design Guides and is the former editor-in-chief of Fine Gardening magazine.
She is inspired by the natural world--the beauty in its design, its earthy colors and textures, its unpredictability and wildness. Her photographs of the sea have been published in The Mutable Sea, shown in solo and group exhibitions, and earned national recognition.
Fascinated by the creative process itself, Lee Anne earned a master's degree in Creative Studies at the International Center for Studies in Creativity at SUNY/Buffalo State. Her research on the role of creativity in women's lives and her work with college women inspired her to write Her Own Way: Creating an Authentic Life.
