Subject
Flora Obscura explores the quiet mystery and beauty of nature through contemporary-traditional fine art. The artworks will reveal the hidden poetry of gardens, and wild places alike. From shadowed forest paths and windswept coastlines to intimate floral studies and contemplative figures in nature, Flora Obscura celebrates the enduring connection of humanity and the natural world around us.
