California Wildflowers is a set of four handmade glass and metal shutters installed in the front window of the Portola Branch Library. This set of 20 glass panels depict California indigenous wildflowers, such as chamomile, daisy, echinacea, lavender, morning glory, poppy, star flower and western dogwood. The artist was inspired by the many nurseries that once were located in the Portola neighborhood.
The glass pieces were commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission for an amount not to exceed $36,000.
