Heather James Curator Chip Tom, Los Angeles consultancy, worked with Penelope Gottlieb on her installation at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
“I am not a scientist, I am not a botanist, and I’m not attempting to be a naturalist. These are my fantasies of plants, an artist’s interpretation of nature. My goal is to paint plants that are disappearing and those that have been confirmed as extinct. I didn’t just want to paint pretty pictures. I wanted to find something that I felt was important.” — Penelope Gottlieb
