Wylie Garcia:Garden Tender

Artist Wylie Garcia has learned to have faith in her intuition. Based in Charlotte, Vermont, Wylie draws upon memories of gardening with her mother when creating her much sought after floral paintings.  Wylie remains continually inspired by the varying shapes and changing colors of flowers, as she creates layered emotional landscapes with titles such as “A Trusting Place for Bower Birds,” and “Dreams of Southport Island.” Wylie’s creative process also plays into her role as curator at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont, where she seeks to “highlight conversations that are happening visually between artists.” Visit with Portland Art Gallery artist Wylie Garcia today on Radio Maine.
