COMMON TO THIS COUNTRY:
The Botanical Discoveries of Lewis & Clark,
illustrated with 25 of Ms. Thomas's beautiful and botanically
accurate watercolors,
will be published by Artesan in November 2003. The book, written
by Susan
Munger, describes the plants these passionate collectors found
during the expedition and tells the terrific stories of the lengths
they went to find them.
The original paintings, measuring 9 x 12.5"
unmatted and unframed (17 x 22" framed ) will be on view
at the Missouri Botanical Garden from April 12 through May 21,
2004. They can be purchased from the artist or at the Botanical
Garden during the show. Gicleé prints* of several of the
paintings will be
available for purchase directly from the artist. Please contact
the artist for more information.
*Gicleé prints are limited-edition
fine art prints digitally reproduced with archival inks on acid-free
papers under the exacting direction of and signed and numbered
by the artist.
See the "News"
page for more show information.
