"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."

This quote by Michelangelo inspired me to unveil the extraordinary hidden beauty of the architecture and the grand Live Oak trees buried under decades of vines and overgrown vegetation. I created new garden pathways to take the visitor on a journey through time, honoring the spirit of the space with dramatic new window views of the trees, the waterway and the architecture of the home.   - Tracy McCullen
