Event Details

Artist in Residence, Mary Ahern, will discuss her exhibit "Not Just Another Pretty Flower" currently on display in the Library's Adler Gallery.  The subject matter for most of Mary Ahern’s work originates in the gardens surrounding her studio. The lessons learned from studying the synergistic communities of plants and other species are the central stimulus for the creation of her work. Born and raised in Brooklyn NY, Mary's first introduction to the living world of nature was spent at her family's garden in Upstate, NY. She holds a degree in both Fine Art and Horticulture. These two fields of study were further honed at the New York Botanical Garden Botanical Illustration program. Join Ms. Ahern as she discusses her creative process and her efforts to find purpose and meaning in nature.  Her work will be on display in the Adler Gallery during the months of September and October.

Sponsored by the Library's Art Advisory Council
