Presently, in the Marie Louise Trichet Gallery are works which comprise the second of our three retrospectives to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the gallery. Each of the artists have had a solo show in the gallery since it opened in April, 1994. In the upcoming weeks, we will feature on our blog one of the pieces in the show and a brief reflection by the artist who created it.
Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday 10 am - 4 pm. The present show will run until August 22, 2009.
"Night Blooming Cereus I" by Judith Petrovich
The Night Blooming Cereus is an elusive flower with a single night's life span. After sunset on a midsummer's evening, the tendrils surrounding the bud will start to unfurl.
By midnight, the extravagant flower is fully displayed, emitting a seductive fragrance to entice the evening pollinators. Once you've had the good fortune to witness this event, it is something you yearn for yearly.
