Flora & Fauna Juror's Critique with Dr. David Berry

Flora & Fauna invited artists to celebrate characters of the natural world, real and imagined, living and extinct, peaceful and poisonous. Nature is one of mankind’s greatest muses, and there is a long and rich history of artists representing plants and animals in their artwork, often with layered and hidden meanings. All of the art from this exhibition is available for purchase at Art Center Sarasota.

The juror for this exhibition was Dr. David Berry, Vice President for Visitor Engagement and Chief Museum Curator at Selby Gardens.
Dr. David Berry did his doctoral research at the University of Oxford with a focus on the history of museums, gardens, and libraries. Dr. Berry spent ten years at The Ringling in Sarasota, serving ultimately in the role of Associate Director, before joining Selby Gardens in 2021 as Vice President for Visitor Engagement and Chief Museum Curator. Dr. Berry teaches courses on the history of museums and art of natural history at New College of Florida.
