“Lily” by Mary Ruden

Description

An artist with a focus on natural subjects, and a member of American Society of Botanical Artists, Mary’s influences come from her scientific background. Recently, she showed botanical illustrations of native plants of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the Centennial exhibit to honor 100 years of the National Parks.  She was named “Wildflower Pilgrimage Artist of the Year” in Gatlinburg, TN in 2017 and had a solo show at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts on native and endangered plants.
