Jane Pinheiro's Watercolors
When: 8/4/2010 - 9/30/2010
Where: Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants
10459 Tuxford Street
Sun Valley, CA 91352
Show Description: This season the Theodore Payne Art Gallery once again is proud to share the unique watercolors of Jane Pinheiro.
'The Poppy Lady,' as Pinheiro was called, was well known for her watercolors depicting the flora of the Antelope Valley in northern Los Angeles County. She was a self-taught artist and botanist who took great pride in the accuracy of her illustrations, and her work was collected widely.
In 1940, Jane and her husband moved to the Antelope Valley, where she became enamored with the desert flora. She was deeply involved in the civic affairs of the Antelope Valley region and instrumental in establishing the California Poppy Reserve. Though she did not survive to see the opening of the visitor center at the Reserve, 163 of her paintings are displayed there each spring.
Upon her passing in 1982, Pinheiro's family donated dozens of additional paintings to the Theodore Payne Foundation, providing a rich body of work for its art program.
