Kathy Jackson’s arrangement centering on a piece of driftwood is the perfect mirror to Clara Naguib’s Alebrije snake.
David Shultz’s 3-foot-high sculpture made with faux fur, plastic, wire, cardboard and acrylic paint sits on the floor, too large for a table. Jessie Panek mirrored the sculpture using calla lilies for the teeth and Amaranthus for the fuzzy body.

A weathered piece of red northern oak matches the texture of Gregory Urquhart’s charcoal portrait. Floral artist Deborah Dawson also employed other forest greenery such as ribbon fern, maidenhair fern, and broom moss to complete the arrangement.
AnaMaria Nanra’s
use of Amaranthus mimics the flow of the colored glaze on Reval Argow-Sniderman’s ceramic pot.
