March 20, 2026 - Mary Ahern Artist

After attending a lecture at the New York Botanical Garden, my friend Chris and I went to the conservatory to see the amazing Orchid Show. This is the best orchid exhibition in years. It was designed by the floral designer Mr. Flower Fantastic and features his work, which he displays throughout New York City.

The initial grand entrance installation is a recreation of a NYC brownstone.

The NYC Subway system is recreated throughout the show.

You never know, you might just find some orchids in my upcoming paintings.

These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and Poughkeepsie, NY.
