Now through 2/29/2012
Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden, in partnership with the North SeaTac Community Center, welcomes a watercolor art display by regional watercolorist Susie Short to the Common Room at the Community Center through the month of February, 2012.
Short, since discovering the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden in May of 2011, has become one of its most passionate fans. She has been in the garden numerous times painting in the Plein Air style: a method first popularized by French Impressionist painters where the artist uses the “plain air” of an outside location to be the sole influence on the work that is created during that one outdoor session. Susie’s collection of rose, iris and garden landscapes are reminiscent of what visitors will find when they stroll the grounds of the Botanical Garden.
The Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden is located at 13735 24th Avenue S, SeaTac, WA, 98168, with the North SeaTac Community Center just across the parking lot.
