Jenna Lechner
Working in watercolor, certified naturalist Jenna Lechner draws inspiration from heritage crafts, patterns, and vintage print ephemera. Careful research helps her further understand the historical and contextual information of a project.
Jennifer Kapnek
The vibrant acrylic paintings of Jennifer Kapnek are sculptural and luminous. Dimensional elements, live edges, and branches are seamlessly incorporated into her work. In the inclusion of natural objects, she has found a hidden fellowship of ramblers, enthusiasts, and collectors of nature ephemera.
Now In Bloom
Wintersweet (臘梅)
Each December, Wintersweet (臘梅) begins its pleasant bloom in the Fragrance Courtyard at Lan Su Chinese Garden — a golden reminder that beauty can thrive even in cold months. In Chinese culture, Wintersweet is prized for its waxy-yellow blossoms and heady fragrance that emerge when most other flowers are gone, symbolizing perseverance and hope through hardship.
