Botanic Fashion Exhibit on display in Cogar Gallery, Nov. 25 - Jan. 20

Botanic Fashion 29

Herkimer College’s Cogar Gallery will come alive with Krystal Einarsson's exhibit, Botanic Fashion, on display Friday, November 25 through Friday, January 20. A closing reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on January 20.

Einarsson, who hails from Utica, is a fine art photographer who currently resides in Schenectady. Botanic Fashion is a series that started at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as a passion project. Einarsson says the project spawns from her fascination with unique houseplants and the desire to incorporate fashion-inspired lighting with the beauty of everyday plants.

 Her work has been shown at the former Whitesboro Frame & Body in Utica; Thistle Be Perfect Artisan Boutique in Glenville; the YWCA of Northeastern New York in Schenectady; and West End Bagels in Clifton Park.

Botanic Fashion is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Cogar Gallery is located inside the main entrance to the Robert McLaughlin College Center. For more information, visit www.herkimer.edu/cogar.
