Kate Breakey: Flora

Art Intersection presents the work of Arizona artist Kate Breakey. This exhibition highlights the exquisite large-scale, hand-colored flora prints from her Small Deaths series and several of her still life orotones. 

Breakey’s application of colors and gold leaf to the photographs on view give an awe-inspiring depth and beauty to her images. See this extraordinary work in person in the galleries through February, and don’t miss her Artist Lecture and Hand-Coloring Photographs workshop.
