The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden will present a more personal side of celebrated sculptor Seward Johnson in a new indoor exhibition, "Trayscapes: Nature, Nostalgia & the Art of Everyday."
The intimate showcase features Johnson’s rarely seen hand-painted trays - originally created in the 1960s as gifts for family and friends. Each tray captures a quiet, heartfelt scene from his life in Hopewell, New Jersey; Nantucket, Massachusetts; and Grounds For Sculpture, the 42-acre sculpture park he founded in New Jersey. Blending soft watercolor washes with sculptural textures, the trays reflect the artist’s deep affection for place, memory, and the poetry of everyday life.
The exhibition will remain on view in the historic DeGolyer Housethrough July 31.
