Our Gardens Inside & Out

I am included in this very diverse exhibit, with over 75 artists. It runs through October 7. I invite you to check it out. The following is from the museum announcement:

Charles Allis Art Museum

June 29 - October 7, 2012
Opening Reception Friday, June 29

 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. 

A fresh perspective on gardens to intrigue us whether we view them through the eye of an artist, a pane of glass, or surrender ourselves to romantic trysts in their moonlight shadows.

Our Gardens Inside & Out is a group show by artists who interpret flowers and gardens from different perspectives using varied art forms including paintings, prints and sculpture.

Spring ephemeral blooms invite us to enjoy and celebrate the Renaissance Garden of the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the English Garden of the Charles Allis Art Museum. Choose your path through Our Gardens Inside and Out to see the melding of creations by the hand of Man and the hand of Nature.

Guest Curator Jane Brite was founding Director of Walker’s Point Center for the Arts and recent recipient of the Wisconsin Lifetime Achievement Award from the Wisconsin Academy of Arts, Science & Letters.
