Technology + Nature = Great Art

Lavender

Boulder artist Bonny Lhotka combines innovative printing methods with an age-old subject matter in the “Alchemy Garden” exhibit at Denver Botanic Gardens. Her mixed media artworks blend the precise methodology of laser engraving with soft, natural forms such as flowers to achieve an effect that begs investigation. When not referencing the natural world directly, Lhotka’s work addresses the passing of time and the change it brings.

 “Alchemy Garden” presents 13 works created specifically for installation in the Gates Garden Court gallery space. On view through September 20; free with Gardens’ admission. Pictured here is Lhotka’s “Lavender,” mixed media engraving on birch boxes.
