The Botanical Artists Mini-Expo will be held on June 6 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Tuckahoe Area Library, located at 1901 Starling Dr. in Henrico County, Virginia.
Featured artist, The Wright Scoop – Sylvia Hoehns Wright, will greet and talk with visitors. "Redbud Tree," one of two of her illustrations in the exhibit on plants and pollinators, is an identified "Plant of CARE."
Other participants will demo the tools and techniques of the botanical artist trade as well as help attendees draw a plant from real specimens with watercolor pencils. For kids, there will be plenty of activities, including butterfly coloring sheets, make-a-flower-and-bee craft, learning how mushrooms save bees, and making botanical zines and acquiring botanical tattoos (in lieu of face painting).
