Members Book Club Richardson Memorial Library $10 per session; Register. The Paper Garden: An Artist Begins Her Life’s Work at 72 By Molly Peacock In The Paper Garden, poet-biographer Molly Peacock creates a sumptuous portrait of Mary Delany, an 18th-century widow who, in her 70s, invented a new art form, the mixed-media collage, to create "flower mosaicks" so accurate they are still studied by botanists today. For this program, a specialist from the Missouri Botanical Garden will present a primer on botanical illustrations to provide interesting context for Peacock’s biography.
