SEED

Seed: A new exhibition at Andra Norris Gallery, curated by Elizabeth Barlow and Andra Norris, explores flowers 

as symbols of transformation 

Bay Area, CA - Andra Norris Gallery presents Seed, a new exhibition curated by artist Elizabeth Barlow and Andra Norris, featuring mid-career and established artists working across watercolor, oil painting, sculpture, and drawing. The exhibition is on view September 26 - November 6, 2026, with an artist reception on Saturday, October 3rd, 4:00 - 6:00 PM. 

In Seed, flowers become both subjects and symbols — sites of exploration that move beyond representation into meditations on beauty, decay, renewal, loss, and transformation. Together, the exhibition’s works form a dialogue between artists who each approach flowers in distinct ways: as emblems of pure beauty, rebirth, transcendence, fragility, and hope. Inside every flower lies a powerful force: a seed of regeneration and resilience. Across disciplines and perspectives, the works in Seed deepen our understanding of flowers as enduring carriers of emotional, spiritual, and natural meaning.

“Flowers are symbols of the hope that lies within all nature, of the power to regenerate and be transformed,” says Elizabeth Barlow. “There is this same little seed inside each one of us, because we are all part of the miracle that is life on this earth.”
