About the Artist: Chelsea Houston
โThis whimsical festival starring a dreaming bunny orbited by dancing turnips, chard, collard greens, and peas came to me in a dream, of all places,โ Houston says of her illustration. โOur Northern Nevada pink skies and lavender clouds serve as background to these delicious vegetables both in this charming bunnyโs dreams and when we wake to marvel at our sunrises. While you might not find yourself nibbling a radish in your sleep or cuddling with carrots, youโll surely enjoy any one of the in-season fruits and vegetables on a brisk spring day.โ To view her artwork, visitย Chelseahouston.com.
