ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Identifying Flowers is a painting by late artist Louise Williams that depicts two girls reading a book as they walk home from school. A celebration of learning, Williams composed her subjects surrounded by fantastical flowers, noting "as they learn about nature, they cherish it, and discover how best to care for it and themselves."
