When Art Meets Nature Artists Discuss Botanical Perspectives Botanical Impressions Artist Talk Nov 1 at Headwaters Arts Center

STAMFORD  –  Artists Andie Hope, Tracy Qiu, Ali Shockey, Kathleen Sweeney and Carol Woodin return to Headwaters to discuss their artwork, creative process and influences. This Artist Talk, offered in conjunction with the Botanical Impressions exhibit at Headwaters Arts Center, will take place on the last day of the exhibit, Saturday November 1, at 12 pm. Following artist introductions, there will be an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions and contribute to the discussion. This is a free event.

Though these artists work in different mediums and investigate their subjects in diverse ways, they reveal a common reverence for the plant world that offers an intriguing perspective on some of the challenges we currently face in our relationship with nature. This Artist Talk is a unique opportunity to explore in greater detail the works that have fascinated us all in the Botanical Impressions exhibit.

Featuring artwork by Bobbi Angell, Tracy Qiu, David Schaengold, Ali Shockey, Kathleen Sweeney, Carol Woodin and Mallory Zondag, Botanical Impressions is a group exhibition that offers different perspectives on the relationship between plants and humans. Adapting old narratives and developing new ones, these works call on us to realize our essential relationship with plants and reinvigorate our understanding of our interconnectedness with the natural world.
