Artist Reception with Daniela Yew

Location: The Helen Crocker Russell Library of Horticulture

Join us in the library to celebrate our beautiful new art exhibit, California Birds and Plants: Papercut Artwork by Daniela Yew. Delicate and intricate, these black and white portraits of birds and plants of California are wonders of close observation, concentration, and detailed craftsmanship.

California is a biodiversity hotspot, and home to not only many native and endemic species, but also many introduced species. Birds and plants are easily observed, even in an urban environment, and show an amazing variety of shapes, patterns and forms. The goal of this exhibition is to show the range of plants and birds found in California, from a tiny Townsend’s Warbler to a giant Australian eucalyptus tree, and inspire people to protect this amazing place we call home.

California Birds and Plants: Papercut Artwork by Daniela Yew is on display and for sale in the Library through January 2024.
