Kim Saltiel’s “Iconic Gardens of The Northwest” collection—a stunning series of pastel and oil paintings capturing the breathtaking beauty of Washington State's most celebrated gardens.

This evocative new body of work features intimate portrayals of Manito Park, Washington Park Arboretum, Bloedel Reserve, and Ohme Gardens. Through Saltiel's masterful brushwork, viewers are transported into lush landscapes where color, light, and botanical detail converge in harmonious celebration of the Pacific Northwest's horticultural treasures.

Saltiel brings exceptional credentials to this collection, having attended courses at New York Botanical Garden. Her beginnings in botanical illustration informs every piece, lending scientific precision to her artistic vision while maintaining the emotional resonance that has become her signature style.

"These gardens represent some of the finest examples of horticultural artistry in the region," says Saltiel. "My goal was to honor their beauty while inviting viewers to experience the sense of peace and wonder I felt while painting among them."

The collection showcases Saltiel's versatility across mediums, with pastels capturing the soft, ephemeral quality of flowering blooms and oils providing rich depth to woodland scenes and formal garden landscapes.
