F ifteen artists from the Brazos Valley Art
League have temporarily redecorated the
Horticulture/Forest Science Building.
The Benz Gallery of Floral Art exhibit
“Ships, Shores and Seas” is on display until
Oct. 28, featuring a variety of works, includ
ing watercolor and oil paintings, and pic
tures designed using dried flowers and
leaves.
Olive Black, chair for the exhibit and one
of the presenting artists, said the exhibit is a
great opportunity for members of the league
to present their work and hopefully sell some
of their pieces.
“We have great interest in it,” Black said.
“In two months of showing, we probably
sell two or three pieces, which I think is just
terrific.”
The exhibit features works from amateurs
and professionals, and all works are from
members of the league, she said.
Black said she has been painting for 20
years and has always been interested in cre
ating her own art works.
1 “It’s something I wanted to do all my life,”
she said. “I finally took lessons and I just
caught on and loved it.”
Marci Boone, another artist contributing
to the exhibit, said she enjoys entering ex
hibits, and appreciates the exposure she gets
as an artist from these exhibits.
“I paint for pleasure, but I also try to sell
pieces,” Boone said.
Jim Johnson, director of the Benz Gallery
of Floral Art, said his job is to organize the
artwork and complement the works with
pieces from the Benz Gallery Collection.
"Fve been here since the fall of 1984 when
the Horticulture Building opened,” Johnson
said. “We’ve been doing this since then.”
Johnson said many people are not aware
that the Benz Gallery exists.
“It can be hard to get people out here, be
cause you can’t just park and walk in,” he
said. “ Most people are pleasantly surprised
by the building, the gallery itself and the dif
ferent things that we put on display. It’s a
great place to brown bag. The fact that we
combine natural lighting with plants and art
makes it unique. ”
The exhibit is open Monday through Fri
day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
