Desert Views: A Conversation Series
Connecting Communities to Nature and Wellness through Botanical Art
Lee Baker and Catherine Borowski, the artists behind Super Bloom by Graphic Rewilding, speak about reconnecting people to nature through their maximalist floral art and the science behind how looking at pictures of nature stimulates the brain’s reward centers and lowers stress.
This event is part of Learn at Desert Botanical Garden.
About the Artists of Super Bloom
“We’ve always wanted to bring art to people, rather than wait for people to come to art. Art doesn’t have to wait behind gallery doors, it can meet people where they already are.” -Graphic Rewilding
Lee Baker and Catherine Borowski transform public spaces through monumental, nature-inspired immersive art installations. Borowski’s background in large-scale curation inspired Baker to bring his studio-based nature art into the public realm, and Graphic Rewilding was born. Drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as Japanese ink painting, Dutch still-life, and contemporary visionaries like Christo and Jeanne-Claude and Yayoi Kusama, as well as glass artists like Brian Clarke and John Piper, they craft powerful floral illustrations that spark joy, connection and a deeper appreciation for nature.
