Now in its third year, “Flora in Focus,” brings together a group of passionate Bay Area artists who share a love of floral subjects and a strong creative bond. Their friendship has been cultivated over years of painting together, inspiring one another and exhibiting side by side. The exhibition features artwork in a wide range of media, including watercolor, acrylic, oil, gouache, colored pencil, glass, mixed media, ink and color and East Asian brush painting techniques.
This year’s featured artists include: Monique Makepeace, Wei-Ting Chuang, Charlotte Severin, Jenna Hobbs, Helene Roylance, Tejal Shah, Lynda Briggs, Peggy Kervin, Usha Shukla, Tuan Karsevar, Rekha Joshi, and Meghana Mitragotri.
The group is especially grateful to Allen McFarland of the Library Services Department, the Livermore Library staff, and the City of Livermore for their continued support and for providing a welcoming space where artists can share their work with the community.
