Watercolors from the Garden
Watercolor Works from the Garden…
This wonderful exhibition is the culmination of a 2-year collaborative project between the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden (the Garden) and the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society (PWS).
Approximately two years ago PWS President Susan (Suzie) Sparks reached out to the Garden’s Mark A. Miller, PhD,
Education & Exhibits Director and began the conversation on how best both groups could work together. Several ideas were discussed regarding sharing resources, workshops and a possible exhibit. Out of these conversations this project began in the Spring of 2022 with PWS member visits and workshops at the Garden, and is ending with this beautiful Spring 2023 exhibit in the Garden Welcome Center Gallery.
Pittsburgh Watercolor Society’s membership includes some of the premier watercolor artists in the city, who have come to the Garden, created works of watercolor art – in plein air, workshops, sketches and photo references – inspired by scenes from Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. These finished pieces comprise this juried exhibition, on display in the Garden’s
Welcome Center through June 2023.
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to the Garden for this amazing opportunity and we hope that we at PWS can continue
collaborating in the future!
