Zinnia Boxed Thank You Notes

Beth Van Hoesen (American, 1926–2010)
Zinnia, 1972

For more than five decades, California artist Beth Van Hoesen (1926–2010) created intimate drawings and prints that bring out the beauty, personality, and essence of her subjects—animals, people, still lifes, and landscapes. Her artistic approach was shaped by her philosophy that an artist needs to see not only with the eyes but also with the heart. Van Hoesen’s work has been the subject of several books, including Beth Van Hoesen: Fauna & Flora.
