PottersWife Gallery
Show runs April 12-May 11, 2013
A celebration of emerging blooms, foliage, budding trees and landscape is the focus of this inaugural Spring Botanical Exhibition. The show's theme was broad and yielded an equally wide variety of entries as reflected in medium and artistic interpretation.
