“Plant Portraits”

Botanical Prints by Kristin JakobOctober 1, 2009 – January 4, 2010San Francisco Botanical Garden Society presents Plant Portraits, an exhibition of botanical prints by Kristin Jakob. A Bay Area artist, Kristin Jakob takes inspiration from simple weeds to elaborate horticultural creations, with many subjects from the native plants of California. Working almost exclusively from live specimens, her collection expresses both horticultural precision and artistic ease. “Accuracy and beauty are equally important goals. I intend my art to serve as a medium through which my chosen subjects can speak, as it were, for themselves, and reveal their exquisite characters to the viewer.”
