If you haven’t been to Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens lately then you’ve missed out on seeing some amazing art. Hans Godo Frabel is the latest artist working in glass to exhibit work at Phipps. The Chihuly exhibit last year created quite a buzz around town, and Phipps has kept it going with Life in the Gardens: Fräbel Glass at Phipps.
There is a wide range of work to be seen from small lizards and frogs, to glass clowns –
Glass Clowns Balancing on Spheres
– to abstract sculptures:
Large Cube with Imploded Glass Spheres
The exhibit is well worth spending an enjoyable afternoon viewing. The butterflies are out in force right now, too.

Phipps is a great place for a wedding. I’ve shot them in Outdoor Garden and in the Tropical Forest Conservatory, both provide great backdrops with lots of possibilities for portraits.
