"Bouquet" is a curated exhibition organized by Page Art Projects and presented as a project of Campana Studios. On view at the ICA North Pavilion in Encinitas, the exhibition brings together five regional artists working across painting and sculpture whose practices engage botanical imagery through observation, history, and imagination. Rather than treating flowers as simple decoration, the works in "Bouquet" explore the many ways we assign meaning to the natural world — through study, symbolism, memory, and material form. From gardens carefully documented over time to sculptural works inspired by the historical language of flowers, each artist offers a distinct perspective on how beauty, knowledge, and cultural history intersect. Featured artists include: Laura Ball, Jean Lowe, Amy Pachowicz, Gail Roberts and Rebecca Webb. This exhibition is made possible through support from the City of Encinitas and community funding partners. Exhibition hours 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Thursday - Saturday or by appointment
