The Daily Dig
Besides being known for their amazing tropical garden...the Fairchild in Miami is also known for pairing extraordinary art with nature. One of the latest artists to exhibit on the Fairchild grounds is celebrated Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Kusama's work has elements of Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, Pop, and Kinetic art. She is in high demand for her commercial appeal as well...designing cell phone covers, home furnishings, and cosmetics packaging.

Steven this post just popped up for me on the geek. I hadn't heard of this artist either but it looks like a lot of fun. I've only been to Florida once but I may need a return trip.
