The Weller Gallery in the Davis Visitor Center at Fellows Riverside Gardens presents “Natural Selection: Discoveries in Bloom” by artist, Doug McLarty. His nature based images make use of intricate and often whimsical botanical designs along with unusual material combinations to help us discover and appreciate the richness of nature’s diversity.
