From the finding of objects on the lake beach to the creation of the art itself, the illustrations invite young readers to try their own hand at found-object art and to make themselves happy too. The illustrations are great and completely capture the whimsical and decidedly friendly nature of Mary Nohl’s art work. The more detailed prose found there also explains how her works is still problematic for her neighbors and how people are working to preserve it. Turning to the back of the book, readers can see the actual art and her garden gallery. One can immediately see the appeal of her art. Then they turn to the gallery she created with her huge creatures who are friendly and welcoming and wild. The Kuglers focus primarily on the finding of objects and the process that Mary used to create the art. Mary died in 2001 at the age of 87 and her home still serves as a gallery of her art. One after another, huge creatures filled her yard, drawing visitors to see what Mary was creating. Cement was combed and crafted, dotted with stones and other objects. It was when she started to collect odds and ends from the beach near her home that she started to create her statues in her garden.
When she was young, Mary discovered that she loved art and making things and drawing. This picture book biography of Mary Nohl, a Wisconsin artist, tells the story of her first creations of large art. In Mary’s Garden by Tina & Carson Kugler ( InfoSoup)
