Familiar Flora

MK Bailey - Suzy Kopf - Rachel Rush

Familiar Flora features three Baltimore-area artists who created work during the pandemic and resulting quarantine depicting scenes of nature. These images were rendered with the constraints of proximity and memory in a time when travel to new landscapes was difficult and unpredictable.

Each of the three artists documented this period of limitation via a generative, creative output.  Paintings of conservatory plants and neighborhood tree lines, as well as prints of remembered tropical foliage, offer windows into each artist’s practice and meditation on routine and escape.
