ART AND MORE ART


JH artist and teacher, CARLA LOBMIER, has graced the windows of ULTIMA FLORALS with her spring contribution...another vibrant and rich painting from her series of works. She has been showcasing a new work each season, providing additional beauty to the window arrangements and plants that George and the crew at Ultima put together.
Paintings are for sale and so are the flowers!





We recently met artist NORMA GREENWOOD who has been in Jackson Heights many years perfecting her passion for painting. One day we will feature her lovely paintings in JH but for now you can visit her open house event on May 7th in Manhattan!- here is sample of her work and we know there are more incredible paintings in that studio!
