Fruitlands Museum, at 102 Prospect Hill Road, Harvard, Massachusetts, is proud to present an exhibit by Artist-in-Residence Zsuzsanna Szegedi based on her season-long study of Fruitlands’ trees. For Szegedi, working on “The Lure of Trees” has provided a special opportunity to blend her European and American training in Fruitlands’ unique natural environment.

Inspired by nature and our attachment to the land, her work steps beyond the straightforward representation of our environment and explores the complexity of our relationship to it.

Hungarian-born artist Zsuzsanna Szegedi holds a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art. Her paintings can be regularly seen at the Copley Society of Art in Boston. She is the recipient of a Puffin Foundation artist grant and her latest paintings were sponsored by the Gamblin Artist Colors Co.

The Lure of Trees exhibit runs September 6 – November 15, 2009. For directions and additional information, log on to www.fruitlands.org.
