Layer upon layer
Painted papers, patterns and found textures are cut, arranged and joined into intricate new worlds.
A world made from fragments
Every little piece
has a secret life.
Lynn Barnett creates playful collage worlds where flowers have faces, birds keep watch, and tiny doors hint at stories just beyond reach. The longer you look, the more the garden gives back.
Selected collage work
A garden worth getting lost in.
Choose any piece to look more closely. The details are where the stories begin.
Look once. Then again.
Small wonders are hiding everywhere.
A game of discovery
Each piece rewards curiosity. A key, a face, a tiny creature—something unexpected waits in the details.
Whimsy with a heartbeat
Joyful on the surface and quietly mysterious underneath, these gardens invite imagination to wander.

In A Garden of Small Wonders, scraps and fragments become a place of their own: a little unruly, deeply inviting, and always worth another look.
