About Carolyn's lecture:
Women Artists Inspired by Gardens
Carolyn will share fascinating stories about these astoundingly talented women artists who expressed themselves not only through painting and sculpture, but also through glass art, ceramics, needlework, photography, and fashion. They faced “societal and economic challenges and took circuitous routes to fulfill their passions for including garden splendor in their art.”
“Gardens have always been a favorite subject for artists. Yet most of the works we are familiar with are by men. Were women not painting them or sculpting them or photographing them? Yes, they were. These intrepid ‘garden thirsty souls’ spent their lives in the shadows challenging the male-conceived notion that women could not be fine artists.” - Carolyn Bennett, Researcher, Lecturer, OFWC Member
