Artist lecture on Sunday, September 10, 2017 – 2PM
American Rhododendron Society – NY Chapter
Planting Fields Arboretum
1395 Planting Fields Road
Oyster Bay NY 11771
Newletter Announcement:
Mary Ahern, a former board member of the NY ARS will present “From the Garden to the Wall”, a program which describes the process of creating Art, whether in a painting on canvas or as a garden and planting design.
As an Artist with a degree in Fine Art with a focus on Painting, one in Ornamental Horticulture with a specialty in Landscape Design and a Certificate in Botanical Illustration from the New York Botanical Gardens, Mary brings decades of experience to her field.
Mary’s paintings reflect her passion for gardens. The colors, the textures, the lighting and the pathways tell stories of personal creative visions. She is inspired by her own extensive woodland garden in Northport as well as the many public and private gardens around Long Island.
Please visit her website to see her work at: www.MaryAhernArtist.com
More importantly, come to the meeting!
The focus of my talk will be on the design concepts and details that go into planning a garden or creating a painting. There are so many creative similarities used in the creative process and in the design of a pleasing experience to the mind and to the eyes in these disparate mediums.
Please join me in exploring the creative mind at work!
