Each exhibition reflects the Arboretum’s mission to foster a deeper connection between people and the natural world. Whether exploring the gallery indoors or encountering artwork tucked among the gardens and trails, your visit is sure to offer a renewed perspective on creativity and nature in dialogue. With new artists and installations added regularly, there’s always something new to see. Check back here for updates on current and upcoming featured artists and exhibitions.
Féminin Pluriel: A Solo Exhibition by Pascale Bouchard
May 29 – October 31
Reeves-Reed Arboretum is pleased to present Féminin Pluriel, a solo exhibition by Québec-based artist Pascale Bouchard. His exhibition highlights Bouchard’s distinctive encaustic practice, in which pigmented beeswax and heat are used to create richly textured works of art. Rooted in themes of transformation, memory, and the symbolic power of the feminine, her work draws deeply from floral imagery and organic forms, evoking both the fragility and resilience of the natural world.
A curated selection of artist-designed objects and garments inspired by the Féminin Pluriel series will be available for purchase, and a live demonstration of Bouchard’s encaustic technique will be scheduled this fall at the Arboretum.
All works in this exhibition will be for sale, and the artist will donate 30% of all sales to the Arboretum.
The exhibition will be on view from May 29 through October 31 in the Wisner House.
Gallery hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 10 am–4 pm (subject to private events; click here for updated hours). For questions, please contact Marilyn Wirtz at m.wirtz@reeves-reedarboretum.org.
Wild Impressions: Foxes by Wendy Klemperer
June 16 – October 31
Discover the striking animal sculptures of Wendy Klemperer, on view now through October 31 at Reeves-Reed Arboretum. Created by the Brooklyn-based artist, Klemperer’s sculptures utilize plasma-cut reclaimed steel and masterful craftsmanship to bring the natural world vividly to life. This installation features a series of six fox silhouettes, serving as a tribute to the native wildlife that calls our region home.
In the artist’s words, “The imagery that pervades my work reflects a lifelong fascination with animals. To make the large-scale sculptures I search scrap yards for industrial refuse ravaged by usage and demolition. Bent and twisted, such pieces contain energy and potential new life. My welding process is a kind of three-dimensional gesture drawing. A network of steel lines builds a skeletal form containing both presence and absence. I investigate the body language of animals to express a feeling or state of being, with motion conveying emotion. Focusing on the animal realm seems no less important to me than on that of humans- observing the continuity between all forms of life on earth.”
