Flora and Fauna: Drawings by Francesca Anderson
July 23, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
FreeCome to the Bruce Museum for the opening of their new exhibit Flora and Fauna: Drawings by Francesca Anderson. Artist Francesca Anderson specializes in capturing natural history in her exquisite illustrations of plants and wildlife. Twenty of her scratchboard and pen-and-ink drawings will be on view in the exhibition.
Flora and Fauna brings together a selection of Anderson’s large-scale botanical illustrations for which she is best-known and life-size scratchboard illustrations of birds. The three-foot tall, black-and-white images are striking, meticulously drawn from life in exacting detail. Two new pieces created for this show spotlight mounted birds selected from the Bruce Museum collection — a red-breasted merganser and a barred owl.
The show runs through October 30, 2016.
