Floral and Fauxna: Patty Carrollis a 2019 exhibit at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art which says: "In these still-life photographs, colorful fabric, artificial flowers and other household baubles create a sumptuous, patterned, and ornate world. This world mirrors the home life of birds in nature while symbolizing the nesting instincts of women whose homes are a sanctuary of pride and obsession." Also see artist's website Accessed 3/19

Naida Osline: Florescence is a 2017 exhibit at the Riverside Art Museum which says: "Florescence is a portfolio of fantastical, hybrid flower specimens that merge components from plants, animals, insects, and synthetic products. The artist uses a scanner, instead of a camera, to capture detail, connecting the work with documentary photographic methods for recording botanical specimens." Also see the artist'swebsite Accessed 12/19

Jo Whaley: Echoes is a 2018 exhibit at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum which says: "Whaley's twenty-first century photographic compositions express the decay and threat to a fragile environment unanticipated by the innocence of O'Keeffe's radiant tributes to the transcendence of nature." Accessed 8/20

Terraria Gigantica: The World Under Glass, Photographs by Dana Fritz is a 2018 exhibit at the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts, Appalachian State University which says: "Biosphere 2's ocean in the Arizona desert, the Henry Doorly Zoo's desert in the Great Plains of Nebraska, and Eden Project's tropical rain forest in notoriously gray and cool Cornwall, England. These vivaria are enclosed environments where plants are grown amidst carefully constructed representations of the natural world to entertain visiting tourists."

TREE: A New Vision of the American Forest - Photographs by James Balog is a 2005 exhibit at the McMullen Museum of Art which says: "Balog captures a tree in thousands of tiny frames as he rappels down an adjacent tree; the composite image evokes the tree's titanic scale."

Volunteers: Works by Alida Fish is a 2019 exhibit at the Rehoboth Art League which says: "Photographer Alida Fish is known for her still life work using manipulated photo processes, mythic tableaux of flora and curiosities, and disquieting spectral images.
