BOTANICA @ Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton, NJ



The museum was standing on the bank of the river. The building used to be a mill. It was renovated and then turned into a beautiful museum. There is another water mill in front of it. Best of all, there was so much green surrounding the museum.
Inside was also nice. The old mill was maintained well. The strong wood ceiling and floor gave us a slight nostalgia as if we had been here before.
The curator of the museum, Mary, (who is such a nice lady. I enjoyed working with her. Thanks, Mary!) told me that there would be different type of art work in the show. As she mentioned, there were sculptures, photographs, paintings, installations. collages, printmaking, prints, and so on. I was a only one who did traditional botanical art work. Somehow, all works were connected to each other in a way. That's what the attendees felt at the opening. Also, everyone I talked to said that Mary had done such a good job on curating the art, and I felt very happy being one of them.
This was a wonderful show to see. Please visit and check it out if you are in the neighborhood. you won't be disappointed!
