In honor of the life and work of Maggie Lake (1954-2015) the Putney Public Library, in April and May, will be the venue for a show of her botanical artwork.
Some pieces in the show are enlarged giclée prints and others are her original compositions from preserved plant specimens.
Maggie loved the natural world and lived in it as long as she could with energy, humor, and warmth. She brought to the public’s eye (and walls) her vision of the shapes and colors of plants she found in the Vermont woods, the Alaskan tundra or the Alps, often lovingly presented, sometimes seemingly in dancing, conversational or rhythmical relationships.
On Sunday, April 26, from 3pm-5pm, the Putney Public Library will host a reception of appreciation, with a short program to honor Maggie’s work at 4pm.
Her work can be seen at the Library from March 30th until the end of May during Library hours: Monday-Friday 10:30am-6pm and Saturday 10am-1pm.
The Putney Public Library is located at 55 Main St. in Putney, VT. For more information, please call the Library at 802-387-4407 or email putpub@svcable.net.
