(SUMMIT, NJ) -- Reeves-Reed Arboretum is excited to announce its first art exhibition of 2025, Gardens on the Hill. This eclectic show brings together a curated selection of works from artists across the United States, including celebrated talents from New Jersey. Each artist offers a unique lens through which the garden, in all its diversity, is interpreted. This exhibition is on display from February 11, 2025 through May 23, 2025.
This exhibition mirrors the distinctive charm of Reeves-Reed Arboretum, where each garden zone thrives with its own essence. Through varied techniques and styles, these artists imbue their creations with the vibrancy of nature, ultimately coming together in a collective showcase that honors the garden as both a personal sanctuary and a shared source of beauty and inspiration.
Gardens on the Hill features artists Pamela Casper, Sheila Fox, Valerie Leuchs, Paige Lindsey, Tracey Luckner, Carolyn McKibbin, Alyssa Watters, Marilyn Foehrenbach Wirtz, and Kelly Worman. Additionally, a showcase of works by twelve artists from the Zone IV chapter of the Garden Club of America will be exhibited, each inspired by two of the Arboretum’s iconic features: the rose garden and the daffodil bowl. Works range in media including oils, watercolors, ceramics, and quilts. Artists’ interpretations of the garden vary in style from abstract to hyper-realistic.
