In The Gallery For January
Gretchen Van der Lyke is watercolor, chalk and pastel botanical artist, a New London native, and a graduate of Clark University with a Fifth Year Certificate from the Rhode Island School of Design who is currently working on her Master’s from URI.
Gretchen writes about her work “At the turn of the 20th century, poet Rainer Maria Rilke spent a great deal of time visiting Paris gardens observing flowers. These experiences resound in his poetic works. In his poem Interior of the Rose he asks, “What heavens are reflected in the inward seas of these opening roses thus reposing?”
As a botanical artist who paints directly from nature, I deeply relate to Rilke’s experiences and perspective; also marveling at the perfect but ephemeral beauty of flowers and processing the intrinsic desire to preserve their essence.”
