Heveri employs the use of light and color in her work and fittingly draws inspiration from nature, in particular, the fluid and ethereal movement of butterflies, fireflies and beetles in flight. “The kaleidoscope of color that the Flower Fields bring each year is a stunning contrast for the individual sculptures that make up my ‘Glass in Flight’ exhibit,” says Artist, Alex Heveri. “I’m thrilled to bring my largest exhibit to date to Carlsbad, with over 38 sculptures sprinkled throughout the fields.” In addition, the 2025 Activity Calendar is blooming with activities and programming that have become a tradition for returning guests to enjoy year after year.
