I attended the opening celebration of the new “Native” exhibit at the Pacific Bonsai Museum, in Federal Way, Washington. This is an exhibit I was anxiously anticipating. Even the rain showers didn’t keep me away!
The pairing of the the artwork of Swiss artist Iuna Tinta alongside the bonsai exhibits works so effectively. The brush style and colors incorporated in the artist’s paintings are exquisite. Here are samples of her work at the exhibit.
I invite you to visit the expressive and colorful artwork of Iuna Tinta that will be on exhibit through October 8, 2017. Visit the Pacific Bonsai Museum website for more info.

Reblogged this on Wolf's Birding and Bonsai Blog.
I didn’t really understand this exhibit until I saw your photos. Great illustration of the artistry of bonsai trees connected with the artistry of the paintings.
We used one of your photos in a blog post about the exhibit and sent people to your blog post for more. (We are interested because one of the owners of In Harmony Sustainable Landscapes volunteers at the bonsai museum.)

Thank you for your compliments! I am flattered that you have used one of my photos in your blog post. You have done a good job in describing what this exhibit is all about.
Thank you for sharing images from this exhibit! I don’t imagine I’ll be able to make it which is a pity because it is really fabulous. I love the idea of pairing the bonsai with paintings. And what paintings! Whoever chose the pairings did a wonderful job, didn’t they?
Yes, they absolutely did a wonderful job of pairing the paintings with the bonsai. I would imagine that the painting artist had a hand in this as well.
I stumbled upon your site looking for info on Mount Rainier. I always get sidetracked and started looking at your Blog and saw this post about the Bonsai gardens which is on my list of things to do. I love how your photos captured the feeling of the Native Exhibit. I can’t wait to go.
Thanks for visiting my blog! Yes, you should definitely visit the Native Exhibit at the museum. It’s really cool!
