The exhibit will feature color photographs from her recent excursions to Mexico and Spain, as well as selected images from previous series. Notable in this new imagery is her treatment of architectural elements and a strikingly vibrant and saturated color palette.

Lynn Geesaman is highly acclaimed for her dramatic images of public and
private gardens from around the world. Lines, spirals, curves, and triangles
define space in an exploration of the symmetry and geometry of nature. Her
unique printing technique lends a diffused softness and subtle color to the
elegant simplicity of her compositions. This exquisite rendering of
idealized landscapes typifies her signature style. Her work has been
exhibited in galleries across the United States and in Europe. It appears in
the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art
Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the
Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, and many private collections.
Lynn Geesaman was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and graduated from Wellesley
College with a degree in physics. She travels extensively to gardens
worldwide. She presently resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
