Botanical Art by Heeyoung Kim   Wildflowers of Prairies and Woods

Barbara Rose

Barbara Rose has been privileged to study with Heeyoung Kim at Brushwood Center since 2014. Her instruction and inspiration guided Rose through a five-year study of common native trees, producing a solo show in 2019 at the Oak Park Public Library Art Gallery. The show's sales established a grant program at the West Cook chapter of Wild Ones, a national nonprofit, to plant native gardens at schools, churches and nonprofits. She earned a Certificate of Botanical Art and Illustration in 2012 from The Morton Arboretum in Lisle and participated in shows with the Arboretum's Nature Artists Guild and Reed-Turner Botanical Artists.
