When Dot Garlow was a young girl living in Louisiana, her father would come home from work each day, fix himself two cocktails and sit under the big oak trees her family’s house. Sometimes her mother would join him. They would sit under the shade after a long day, sip their cocktails and rest their limbs from the daily grind. It was their favorite place. The green chairs. The sunshine. A place of routine peace.

Now, Dot lives on a few acres in Bandera TX and has two huge oak trees behind her house. She still keeps two green chairs under the trees in honor of her parents.

As a anthropologist in the mission field, her own work has told the narrative of redemption and humanity in the people she encountered all over Southeast Asia. Her studio holds a collection of those stories...faces that she still frequently prays for all the time.
