This is an amazing exhibition of “plant profile” paintings by celebrated local artist Ashley Cecil that will capture your imagination and challenge your perceptions of the relationships between people and plants.
Plants often go unnoticed despite the essential roles they play in the lives of all humans. Plants provide the clothes on our backs, the frames of our homes, the food on our plates and much, much more.
These “plant profiles” are the result of Ashley Cecil’s residency at Phipps during which the painter and textile designer spent months with Phipps staff exploring the ways plants support and enhance human well-being. The most profound examples became the subjects of Ashley’s vibrant paintings, which she translated into her signature patterns. Each pattern is overlaid with the silhouette of someone in the region whose work embodies that connection.
