The Hanging Garden show will feature several large canvases from Lysa’s strange botanicals and your pad is golden series, plus some framed photographic prints of ginko and other fine foliage taken at the garden.


“Lysa’s fascination with the plant world has brought her
to our garden many times,” says Kathy Gibler, the Executive
Director of Canada ’s only Classical Chinese garden,
located in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown. “Not only has she cap-
tured our flora as only she can, her images of our koi fish
and the waterlily pond are turning out to be some of her
most sought-after artworks.”
