Light, Water, & Care Gallery Talk - Saturday, Dec. 5!

If you missed my gallery talk at Grafica earlier this year, you now have a second chance to hear me discuss the body of work I created for Barnes-Jewish Hospital! I will be giving a talk at Heartland Art Club on Saturday, December 5, in association with the show, “Light Water, & Care: St. Louis Flora in Watercolor for Barnes-Jewish Hospital”, which is currently on view at Heartland.

I’ll be discussing biophilic design, how nature and art improve healing for patients and the hospital experience for everyone, my process for creating the work, and where I’m thinking about heading next.

For those who attended my talk at Grafica in May, you are of course welcome to attend this talk at Heartland, but be aware that I’m covering the same material and in the same format. The only additions will be short sections on the twelve paintings that I created specifically for the show and the directions I’m thinking about exploring in my work next.
