FALLBROOK – The Reflections of Nature wildlife art show will celebrate its 21st year in Fallbrook over the weekend of May 3 and 4.

“The Fallbrook Art Center is pleased to welcome 21 nationally recognized artists from across the US and UK who bring their art and stories of their global travel in pursuit of the wildlife they portray in their work,” said Mary Perhacs, executive director.

Founded by award-winning Fallbrook artist and nature conservationist Gamini Ratnavira, the Reflections of Nature art event showcases the wonderful world of the wild and reminds us of the importance of preserving its beauty.

Nature’s diversity is evident in the art presented by artists working in a broad range of mediums and disciplines including plein air to portray the world’s wildlife and the landscapes that sustain them.
