The Chestnut Hill Gallery is honored to present the extraordinary botanical works of late Philadelphia artist Tom Steigerwald.

Steigerwald (1945-2011), a Philadelphia native, known for his beautiful trompe l'oeil botanical paintings, created his mural-like masterpieces on Masonite, not a square or rectangle canvas, but a series of pieces cut into flowers and leaf forms then painted to give depth, life and movement. Steigerwald, a Tyler School of Art Graduate taught drawing and anatomy at both Moore College of Art and Drexel University. His works are widely collected and he has exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art and the Aldrich Art Museum. He has been featured in many publications including the Philadelphia Inquirer. His larger-than-life works, featuring the flowers and plants he loved, will be on display at the Chestnut Hill Gallery from May 5th through the 26th in a show curated by Gallery Director, Joseph Borrelli and Tom's wife, Patrice Steigerwald.
