Just discovering this thread. What fun!

My wife has had a long art career, we go to see art shows where I often take photos, I have gardening friends who are also known for their artwork and I visit a lot of gardens which I see as an art form. My wife Lia had a piece in a wonderful group show at the L.A. museum of contemporary art just before the pandemic. I’ll start there with this show: https://www.moca.org/exhibition/with-pleasure

Her in front of her weaving at the opening.

Then the Richmond Art Center gave her this solo show in the fall of 2018:

I took this photo at the opening.

It shows one of the pieces in the show flanked by, on the right, garden designer Cevan Forristt who has an online website.
Marcia Donahue on the left sells her own and other’s artwork out of her own home and wonderful 40+ year garden which she opens every Sunday. This online article tells more about her work.

This is one of many of her pieces on display at Chanticleer garden in Wayne, Pennsylvania which I photographed on a trip there before the pandemic.

I took this photo in her Berkeley garden.

Finally since the pandemic Lia has been making photos from plants in my garden as the subject matter of her latest work and here is a picture one that comes from a picture of a fasciated Echium last year.
