Lily Swab is a self-taught mixed media artist from Tulsa, Oklahoma living in Brooklyn, New York. Come meet her and see a body of her work in the Botanic Garden’s Mabee Grange. Enjoy a drink while looking at twenty pieces of her work in this one-night show. Food will be available for purchase. Come early for a stroll in the Garden before 6 p.m.
All art works will be available for sale and 10% of each sale will benefit the Botanic Garden.
Admission is just general Garden admission: $8 for ages 16+, $4 for ages 3-15, if purchased in advance, $10/$5 for same-day tickets. (Advance tickets are encouraged to avoid lines.) Admission for Garden members is free.
More about Lily’s art: Working from the deeper depths of identity, Lily‘s work is an exploration of independence and emergence of self. Propelled by emotion, each piece reflects an inner dialogue which mirrors that of her own during the time of its creation. Lily’s goal as an artist is to take what’s buried within—and often too heavy to confront—and make it into something quite the opposite and less daunting to look at.
