“BOTANICAL TREASURES OF THE EVERGLADES”
Kathleen Konicek-Moran
November 1-30, 2009

Rare and endangered orchids, lovely but threatened bromeliads and other exotic plants from the subtropical environment of the Everglades are the subjects of an art exhibit in the Everglades National Park entitled “Botanical Treasures of the Everglades”.

Kathleen has used the past eight winters as a volunteer in the Park to find some of the Park’s most rare and fascinating plants.  As a botanical illustrator, she presents her subjects in ways that educate the viewer, yet are artistically pleasing.  She works in pencil, pen and ink and watercolor.

An artist’s reception will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2009, from 2:00 – 4:30 PM.
