SUMMARY:Larger Than Life: Moths and Butterflies of the World
DESCRIPTION:Please enjoy this exhibit statement from the artist\, Bailey Lonon: \n“The natural world has always been a massive point of inspiration and awe for me ever since I was a child. My whole life I hoped to bring that feeling to other people through art and education – these butterflies and moths are my first go at pursuing that passion. \nLepidopterans (the order of moths and butterflies) were my gateway to appreciating the rest of nature’s beautiful arthropods. I wanted to enlarge these more palatable insects to spark interest in other people for all the other creepy crawlies of the world\, just like their real-world counterparts did for me. \nThe accessibility of this project is an important facet to me. Each replica is made with easily accessible materials\, and the techniques used to make them are easy to learn. I brought them to life with materials such as cardboard\, foam clay\, and acrylic paints. I sincerely hope this exhibit will inspire others to look closer at the natural world and even replicate what they find beautiful about it as I have.”

SUMMARY:NO RELIABLE DATA AVAILABLE
DESCRIPTION:Come see Tim Harper’s multimedia work this September! With a background including Design\, Collage\, and Found Object Sculpture\, Tim has a keen interest in projects that occupy the space between science and art. He also creates public sculpture with his friend Matt Lively. \nHis pieces started as daily drawing exercises. Each morning\, Tim draws on a tablet with his morning coffee\, mostly birds and flowers. Eventually he started adding collage from old maps\, graphs\, charts\, and his own photos. That grew into experiments transferring his digital collages to wood\, then adding more traditional collage/drawing/painting on top. He did not start with any plan for these pieces; at each step he responded to what the imagery was doing until he felt like something interesting was happening. Some of the collage elements are from old survey maps\, which included blank areas labeled ‘No Reliable Data Available.’ He thought that was a fitting title\, as many of the pieces include data suggesting a story\, but not necessarily a reliable one.

SUMMARY:Blossoms and Bugs
DESCRIPTION:There are intricate\, symbiotic relationships between vibrant flowers and their vital insect partners. While it is easy to marvel at the beauty of flowers\, insects are often misunderstood and spark different reactions. \nThis exhibition juxtaposes artistic beauty with ecological importance. Using the bold color palette and amplified details associated with Pop Art\, each painting magnifies the subtle details of nature\, highlighting the beauty of both blossoms and bugs. At times\, scientific accuracy gives way to artistic interpretation\, inviting viewers to appreciate the overlooked beauty and quiet intricacies of the natural world. \nBees\, butterflies\, and ladybugs are pollinators – the heroes of the garden – responsible for turning blossoms into fruits. Beetles and other Coleoptera make up the largest order of the animal kingdom\, with over 350\,000 known species. They support soil health and plant growth by enhancing soil structure\, managing pests\, and recycling nutrients through activities like burrowing\, feeding\, and decomposition. \nBlossoms and Bugs invites viewers to enjoy the natural beauty around us and cultivate a deeper sense of wonder and appreciation for nature’s essential partners. \nFind more of David Amoroso’s work at: AmorosoART \n

SUMMARY:ALEBRIJES: Creatures of a Dream World
DESCRIPTION:What are ALEBRIJES?\nAlebrijes are brightly colored\, fantastical creatures from Mexican folk art that often combine features from various animals—real and mythical—into a single\, surreal form. Originating in the 1930s with artist Pedro Linares\, who dreamt of strange hybrid beings while ill and later recreated them in papier-mâché\, alebrijes are known for their vivid colors\, intricate patterns\, and imaginative designs. While originally not tied to spiritual beliefs\, many contemporary interpretations associate alebrijes with symbolic meanings\, including representations of the four elements: earth\, air\, fire\, and water. For example\, a creature might have wings for air\, scales for water\, claws for earth\, and flames or bright colors symbolizing fire. Today\, they are celebrated as iconic symbols of Mexican art\, appearing in festivals\, museums\, and parades. We are excited to bring these magical creatures to the Garden and plan to offer a variety of activities and programs to enhance the guest experience. This will be the first time the Alebrijes will be in a Botanical Garden\, and their first time visiting the East Coast!

SUMMARY:CURRENT
DESCRIPTION:Richmond-based painter Terrie Powers presents Current\, a series of luminous works inspired by the interconnectedness of nature and the quiet rhythms of the natural world. Working from her wooded studio in Bon Air\, Virginia\, Powers creates paintings that explore movement\, light\, texture\, and presence\, inviting viewers into contemplative spaces where water\, sky\, trees\, and stone feel deeply connected. Combining painting with graphite\, charcoal\, and pastel drawing\, her layered process captures both the physical beauty and spiritual resonance of the environment. \nWith a career spanning more than four decades\, Powers has exhibited widely in Virginia and New York\, with work held in major public and private collections including VCU Health and the Children’s Hospital of Richmond. A recipient of Richmond’s Woman in the Arts Award\, she continues to expand an evolving body of work rooted in observation\, intuition\, and a lifelong dedication to painting.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Botanical Drawing I
DESCRIPTION:This class is designed to provide foundational drawing skills and inspire a sense of wonder and connection to the natural world. Any age can learn to draw: marks on paper are all a drawing is\, and marks can be made on paper by anyone. Despite this\, not everyone takes the time to learn how to draw.

Drawing habits and dealing with the inner critic are also discussed. \nUsing pencil marks on paper\, participants explore sketchbook work\, basic line qualities\, light on forms\, and transforming reality into three-dimensional illusions. Sketching\, contour drawing\, negative space\, and measured drawing are also covered. Experimentation\, questions\, and observations are encouraged in a relaxed and inspiring environment. \nThis is a beginner’s class. All are welcome to enroll. See class supply list below. \n\nFees: Member $274\, Non-Member $342 \nAll programs are subject to change.
