Four sets of five vertical-format oil paintings depict native Texas plants: grasses, shrubs and aquatic plants; cacti and succulents; wildflowers; trees and vines. Each painting amplifies the various parts of a plant in realistic detail and texture, but the compositions are dynamic and abstracted. The paintings act as a botanical respite for visitors and a counterbalance to soften the harder edges of the center’s architecture.
