Nature’s Rhythms: Botanical Woodcuts

September 25, 2024 – January 5, 2025

“Nature’s Rhythms: Botanical Woodcuts,” invites visitors to explore the rich biodiversity of California and beyond. Having spent years in art residencies across pristine landscapes—from the Everglades to the Mojave Desert—the exhibit brings a deep connection to the natural world into the art. From California’s coastal flora to the lush greens of the Everglades, each woodcut tells a story of place and memory.

Through intricate woodcuts, the exhibit captures the essence of native plants and their habitats. The process begins with on-site sketches and photographs, which are transferred onto Japanese shina wood for carving. The woodcuts are handprinted in black and white. Some of the prints are enhanced with airy watercolor, that balance light, shadow, and texture, creating detailed images of our natural surroundings

Reception – Thursday, October 17, 6-7:30 pm
