Garden Tour Plein Air Paintings
May 25 – June 25 (New!)
As an essential part of our May 5 Garden Tour event, five artists participated in creating distinct views of the selected gardens. Artists Raquel Cox, Barbara Smithson, Marie-Therese Brown, Marlene Lee, and Teresa Steinbach-Garcia worked in different media, from oil and acrylic paint to watercolors. We are grateful to the artists who dedicated their time to paint during Garden Tour, and for the ability to display their completed paintings along the stairway.
Renewal: Paintings by Inga Poslitur
May 3 – June 23
Inga Poslitur’s new series of oil paintings capture flowering plants in natural environments, as well as in lovely arrangements of bouquets in domestic settings. Painting from life, she emphasizes the life cycle of plants by detailing their blooming and fading in glorious detail, capturing moments of beauty to be cherished long after the petals have fallen.
