Joey in the Garden

Saturday I rode my bike to the Garfield Conservatory. After, 15 miles of pedaling against the wind, I was rewarded with the retreat of seeing Niki in the Garden! The Conservatory is hosting a special exhibit of 30+ gigantically beautiful and mesmerizing sculptures by artist Niki de Saint Phalle. My favorites included the dancing women with proportions only a big-hipped girl like myself could thoroughly enjoy. The sculptures were adorning the many greenhouses and gardens of the Conservatory, as well as the outdoor gardens. This all of which made me feel as if I were in a magical wonderland! So many of these pieces were intricately designed and fun to look, there were snakes, cats, lions, and, another favorite, the skull. So fun...so pretty.
