# Mary Ahern’s Latest Exhibits

The Port Washington Public Library is pleased to announce their latest Solo Exhibition:

Mary Ahern – Not Just Another Pretty Flower

On view September 2 through October 30

Artist Talk Saturday, September 24 at 3 pm

Born and raised in Brooklyn NY, Mary’s first introduction to the living world of nature was spent at her uncle’s garden in Upstate, NY. She holds a degree in both Fine Art and Horticulture. These two fields of study were further honed at the New York Botanical Garden Botanical Illustration program.

The subject matter for most of Mary Ahern’s work originates in the gardens surrounding her studio where she can study the synergistic communities of plants and other species and how they represent a microcosm of the universe. Whether painting landscapes or singular flower portraits, the essence of the work is musing on purpose and meaning in nature.
