Visual artist. I love the poetic potential of simple objects. I work between Bologna in Italy and Park Slope in Brooklyn

Emily Dickinson wrote memorably that “Hope is the thing with feathers.” In The Arnold Arboretum’s current art exhibition, artist Laura Fantini illustrates “hope” in each seed she discovers, draws, and records https://t.co/x5XHyhF5mm

@jerrysaltz Hope is the title of my colored pencil series based on seeds because hope is what keeps us going and seeds represent the continuation of life.

“Seeds for Fantini are the messengers of life, as indeed they truly are. Their DNA promises a continuation of a species, a thread that the earth can hold onto, and a promise for tomorrow”

@Botanicaltours @ArnoldArboretum Thanks for your interest in my art. I am just an artist who loves nature and uses it in a metaphorical way. In this case, I am fascinated by how powerful a tiny seed can be. The pin has a personal meaning to me and has become my signature

In our latest art exhibition, Laura Fantini uses colored pencil to render seeds in exquisite, hyper-realistic drawings. https://t.co/utfZJbAeaW

It's peony season at the Garden, and with the tree peonies having recently peaked and the herbaceous peonies well on their way, it's hard to miss these extravagant flowers in all their myriad spring colors.
