Brigitte de Wever: Watercolor Paintings of a Floral World, September 2-29

We are excited to welcome artist Brigitte de Wever back to the Miller Library for her September exhibition. In the artist’s words:

“Flowers and leaves come and go throughout the seasons, and I am fascinated by the richness and abundance I encounter as I walk around my neighborhood, in botanical gardens, or in my garden. With watercolor paintings I desire to keep the beauty I captured around me and share it with others.

I started this collection self-taught, but I am now a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists.

Overall, this exhibit is an invitation to look at nature and bring respect to this magnificent world that gives us so much in return.”

This exhibition will run September 2-29, with a chance to meet the artist on Monday, September 14th from 5:30 to 6:30.
