Although she was surrounded by flowers in her native Vermont, it wasn't
until she traveled to Newfoundland that artist Phyllis Joy Hammond was
beguiled by their artistic potential. Encouraged by a respected
Newfoundland botanist, she embarked on a journey of discovery into the
intricate world of plants. The journey took place over several years as she
and her husband traveled across Newfoundland, then from Maine to
British Columbia, through the Yukon Territory and up to Alaska. Filled
with details of that epic expedition, this volume features exquisite,
intricately detailed watercolours of the wildflowers Hammond encountered
along the way, interspersed with lush landscapes in watercolour and
photographs. Maps marking the locations of provincial, national and state
parks trace the progress of the voyage. Bound in durable high quality
paperback for ultimate portability, Traveling with Wildflowers is an
invaluable and highly entertaining companion. Phyllis Joy Hammond has
exhibited her work in Iceland, Texas, Vermont, Quebec and Alberta. Mrs.
Hammond's diverse work continues to surprise those who follow her
career as she uses a wide variety of techniques to interpret what she
sees. A graduate of Wellesley College, Mrs. Hammond developed her
natural talents through study and consultation with well-known artists of
the area. |
