Sarah Alexander: Botanical Close-ups

I first saw the art of Sarah Alaexander at the Audobon Wildlife sanctuary at Broadmoor in Natick, Massachusetts, after a chilly, but happy tramp over the paths with my husband. Joe's a nature-loving landscaper, so when we spied a room exhibiting naturalistic botanical art, we raced each other to it. The exhibit was large, the walls covered with paintings by this daughter of a British mother, who grew up surrounded by English gardens. She has been honored by numerous exhibitions and awards--no surprise. I returned to the Broadmoor exhibit to buy one of her works, but by the time I got there, it had been sold. I told a friend about Sarah's work; my friend promptly went to Holliston Mills and purchased two paintings.
