"Botanical artists spend a great deal of time observing and this observation is taken to its zenith in Hillary Parker's epic painting, Pumpkin Vine. To capture buds, flowers, early fruit and mature fruit, this masterpiece had to have been composed over a lengthy period of time in order to achieve its meticulous,
gestural perfection."
-Jodie V. Jacobson,
NYHS Curator
