Honored to be a part of the FLOR500 participatory art project, I painted flower #394, the Sweetbroom (Scorparia dulcis), which was selected as the feature image for FGCU’s FLOR500  gallery exhibit.

Five hundred Florida artists were invited to represent 500 native wildflowers in the FLOR500 participatory art project created by Miami artist Xavier Cortada. FLOR500 commemorated Florida’s quincentennial in 2013, and marked the importance of the moment when the history of our state changed forever, giving us a glimpse of what its landscape was like 500 years ago.

Eight Florida regions were assigned 500 native wildflowers to be depicted by the project’s artists. The Region 7 list of flowers was compiled by Dr. Richard P. Wunderlin, Ph.D., of the Dept. of Cell Biology, Microbiology & Molecular Biology at Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants / Institute for Systematic Botany, University of South Florida.
