In the natural world, a flower blooms for only a set period of time—holding its breath in a brief, brilliant display before returning to the earth. But in Chasing Flowers, the garden never fades. Amy Coulombe explores this fleeting beauty through a diverse collection of styles, refusing to settle into a single medium and keeping the exhibition exciting, fresh and new.&nbsp;&nbsp;From the dreamlike drift of alcohol ink on YUPO paper and the soft transparency of watercolors, to the rich textures of oil and the playful depth of acrylic and collage, these flowers truly come to life. By chasing the beauty of nature across every medium, Amy captures the magic of the garden before it drifts away. Please reserve your gate admission on the website and visit through January 6, 2027.
