LEWISBURG — Everyone has drawn simple flowers with stems and petals, but it’s enlightening to talk with a professional artist about the perceptions that influence his process.

The "Freaky Flowers" exhibition at September Gallery showcases over 80 floral-themed artworks in various mediums, celebrating the beauty and brevity of flowers. The artists included offer their distinct perspectives on the subject, with some works incorporating a "freaky" or macabre element, while others embrace the whimsical and mystical qualities of flowers.
