Instructor -- Lynn Reves
Lynn Reves developed a love of plants from a very early age. Growing up in rural Texas playing in her grandmother’s flower garden and following at her grandfather’s heels gave her a unique view of all things plant related. Both cultivated and natural settings allowed for exploration of color, texture and detail. After 30 plus years as a floral designer, a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Biology, and Masters work in Plant Physiology she has put it all together to create contemporary botanical art. Primary mediums are watercolor, colored pencil, pen and ink and mixed media. Studying and teaching Traditional English Watercolor led her to becoming the president and a charter member of the Southwest Society of Botanical Artists. She is a member of the American Society of Botanical Artist. As a member of the Desert Botanical Gardens Grand Canyon Project she is participating in recording, through scientific illustration, the rare and endangered plants of the Grand Canyon and flora for other publications. Her work has been in local, regional, and national juried and non-juried exhibitions.
