Book of Flowers: Collages by Lisa Snow Lady
.jpg)
This virtual exhibit, Book of Flowers, makes reference to The Book of Hours, a richly illuminated medieval psalter or devotional book. Spending time in her own garden during this past summer (in the midst of the pandemic), absorbing the sights, fragrances, and sounds became a time of reflection, solace, and hope. Lisa will donate 20% of the proceeds of sales from this show to support the Miller Library. Contact Lisa directly if you wish to purchase art.
