𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘦 by artist Dar James is on display now in the Garden's Welcome Center! This collection of paintings, collages illustrated books and more is on display through Sunday, June 22. Through vibrant color and intricate marks, Dar James brings trees to life as symbols of strength, growth, and connection. Layering acrylics, papers, and thousands of hand-placed dots, she creates luminous, textured works. This process has become her distinctive style, which is decidedly joyful and rich with rhythm, movement and metaphor that reimagines nature as a playful tapestry, where branches stretch like unfolding stories and roots connect the hidden threads of memory and time.
