Art Reach of Mid Michigan is hosting "Native Wildflowers in Watercolor," a gallery show featuring the work of Cheryl Gould from August 3-29, 2026, in The Morey Family Gallery at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway in downtown Mt. Pleasant.

An artist reception will be held from 5-6:30 pm Thursday, August 27, in The Morey Family Gallery at Art Reach. All exhibits and receptions are free and open to the public.

Inspired by the beauty and resilience of native wildflowers, Cheryl Gould's watercolor paintings celebrate the quiet wonder found in Michigan's natural landscapes. Drawing from photographs she takes while exploring woods and wild habitats, Gould creates compositions that capture not only the flowers themselves but also the environments in which they thrive. Through layered watercolor techniques and thoughtful artistic interpretation, her paintings invite viewers to slow down, appreciate the richness of nature, and reflect on the importance of preserving wild places for future generations.
