IN BLOOM: A Fresh Look at Flowers in Art

In Bloom features four contemporary women artists—Denise Cassidy Wood, Sandy Dekker, Maria Latour, and Shadia Derbyshire—who capture the beauty and vibrancy of flowers with their own distinctive style. Denise integrates mixed media with acrylic paint to create stunning colors and textures which bloom into bold, vibrant flowers. Sandy combines printed fabrics of her floral photographs with free motion quilting to create beautifully textured quilts. Maria combines textiles with encaustics to construct intimate floral pieces with a mysterious sense of depth. Shadia works primarily in acrylics and collage to create dynamic and colorful floral pieces with unique pattern and texture. In
