WANDA SULLIVAN: GARDENS OF HOPE

Gardens of Hope is the first solo Mobile Museum of Art exhibition for Wanda Sullivan. She has lived in Mobile since third grade. She loves flowers and is an avid gardener. Most of her imagery comes from her large midtown yard or the campus of Spring Hill College, where she teaches and maintains a studio. On display at the Mobile Museum of Art from Sept. 16, 2022, through April 2, 2023, In Gardens of Hope, Sullivan examines the intersection between the natural world, her gardens, and the effects of climate change. About the flowers and nature featured in her work, Sullivan says, “My flowers are beautiful, but they are monsters contemporary, biomorphic Frankensteins. They are designed to seduce the viewer and lure them in, just like our dependency on fossil fuels, phones, tablets, and computers do.” For museum rates and information visit https://www.mobilemuseumofart.com/exhibitions/wanda-sullivan/
