About
A lecture and discussion with artist/teacher Laura Shabott. The Docent Curated Exhibition In Full Bloom, 5/21-7/26, is the inspiration for this lecture, a celebration of summer as we respond to the shapes, forms and feelings of flowers.
Shabott will explore the life and work of five artists from the exhibition and their subject matter.
🌺 Did the artist have a garden?
🏠 Where were they living at the time the painting was made?
We will also respond to the paintings through a series of open questions. For people who love the museum, art and artists.
