Reflective Flowers – Art Exhibit @ Cultural Arts Center
Jul 3 – Jul 28 all-day

No life source better compliments our stories than plants, chosen to reflect the milestones throughout each year. From birth to death, flowers are a symbol of every event along the path of life. Petals become companions to us at all intervals, from baby showers to funerals and countless stops along the way. Perhaps we see a reflection of ourselves in plants and petals, reaching and growing, full of life and celebrating, yet fragile and finite in lifespan. The “Reflective Flowers” collection is a master garden of brushstrokes and mixed media by artists Beth Cullen, Leeann Slotkin, Lucy Thomas, and, as her name reiterates, Camyljah Rose. The collection will remain on display from July 6-27, from 9 am to 5 pm, with an opening reception on Thursday, July 6 from 6-8 pm, hosted by Douglasville Community Theater.
