Featured Artist: Koo Hon

Koo’s collection of new paintings, Symbiosis, is on display at Butterfield Garage Art Gallery throughout September. Join Koo for her artist talk at 6:00 pm, on Friday, September 1st, during St. Augustine’s First Friday Art Walk.

With Symbiosis, Koo’s driving inspiration behind the paintings are all linked to her connection with those small, everyday living organisms in nature, such as flowers, fruits, and bugs. She emphasizes the importance of insects to humans, and how they contribute to the environment. With pollination and decomposition, insects and flowers provide food and life to each other, and there is beauty in the cycle of life and death, giving and taking, between these precious organisms.
