Shari Pedowitz’s Truffula Trees was featured in a group exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Tisch Galleries. Set against a soft, pale yellow backdrop, her playful abstract forest brings the spirit of Dr. Seuss into Shari’s colorful world.
 
Cloud-like canopies in shades of blue, pink, green, and lavender float above slender black trunks, giving the forest its own mischievous flair. Shari’s mixed media piece turns a beloved childhood reference into sophisticated, confident joy.
