“Nature Blooms,” a new exhibition featuring the art of Sandra LaRocque and Aelisha Garnett-Williams, is currently being hosted at Castellani House, the National Gallery of Art in Georgetown.

LaRocque, who was born on a mountain top on the island of Dominica, and Garnett-Williams, who is Guyanese, both have a passion for painting and a love for nature.

According to LaRocque, despite their many differences, they share a love for art and nature, which is what has led to the exhibition. In addition to two sculptures, LaRocque has 47 paintings on display, while Garnett-Williams has eight paintings on display, all of which are on sale. The paintings are all nature themed.
