"A Celebration of Flowers"

Tiburon Town Hall Lobby
and Council Chambers

Monday through Thursday
Hours: 8:30am to 5:30pm

The stunning close-up photos of flowers and fruits in their natural settings defines the work of Joan Linn Bekins. Capturing her subjects using only natural light gives them a translucence and ethereal beauty. In hanging her lovely show, she was assisted by visiting friend Luis Vidal, famed architect of the Madrid airport terminal, whose artistic eye helps make this display a visual treat. Well known in the community for her many charitable contributions and her columns in the Ark about flowers, Joan’s photographic work is not to be missed.
