We recently installed a beautiful little exhibition of botanical
watercolors by Jacque Oman ’11 in spot you might not frequent: on the
2nd floor of the library. These drawings are worth the trek: Jacque
has a wonderful sense of color and design, and her studies of iris and
orchids are a treat. About the drawings, she wrote, “I spent hours
layering color upon color for each painting. Though this initially
challenged my patience, the process quickly became meditative as I
immersed myself in the artistic complexity of each form. Nature can do
that to a person, even in the dead of winter.”
Jacque’s watercolors are on the second floor of the libe, on the green
wall opposite the 2nd floor offices.
