Artist Reception for “Francine Michel: Seasoned Observers”

With a unique painting process involving the use of rice paper, ink, encaustic, and watercolor, Michel creates abstract paintings based on observations of actual plants and trees that she has discovered through word of mouth, or that for one reason or another stood out to her in her travels. Using unexpected colors, forms, and perspectives, Michel’s paintings reveal the personalities of the plants she meets, and her translations allow us to understand more deeply the complexities of plant life.

 Complimentary food and drinks. Admission and parking is free.
