Visions of Nature 2009: Classes at the Garden
February 6–February 28, 2010
This annual showcase highlights the finest work of adult artists studying and teaching at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Continuing Education's art classes draw upon the natural beauty of the Garden to inspire creative expression through watercolor, pen and ink, photography, papermaking, and other media.
Emilie Clark at BBG
March 6–May 30, 2010
Artist Emilie Clark's work has been inspired by 19th-century women scientists, including Mary Treat, an expert on carnivorous plants who corresponded with Charles Darwin and Asa Gray. Based on new research on Treat in Brooklyn Botanic Garden's Rare Book Room, conversations with staff, and her observation of the Garden over a four-month period, Clark's exhibition of paintings, works on paper, and three-dimensional installations uses Treat's own observations and experiments as a creative springboard.
