A Salon with Penelope Gottlieb, Gwen Stauffer and Dieter Wilken
Penelope Gottlieb says her art in “Gone” “addresses the dire state of the planet, offering visual ‘eulogies’ for lost plant life, and larger patterns of ecological destruction.” Join Ms. Gottlieb, Lotusland’s Executive Director Gwen Stauffer and Dieter Wilken, the Director of Conservation at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, for a provocative conversation stimulated by this exhibition.
Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
