The excitement at the Bowers Museum continues this summer with the July 24 opening of The Gift of Los Angeles: Memories in Watercolor by Gayle Garner Roski.

With her passing in October of 2020, the Bowers pays homage to Gayle with a display that looks at her life, primarily through a group of forty-four watercolors of Los Angeles and some special sites just beyond its borders.

The works featured in the exhibition are each vignettes of her experiences growing up and living in the City of Angels. Peopled by friends, family, and fellow Angelenos, the jubilant scenes tell intimate and relatable stories of the places that Gayle cherished most deeply.

The Gift of Los Angeles: Memories in Watercolor by Gayle Garner Roski is organized by the Bowers Museum and curated by Jean Stern. Artworks are on loan from the Roski Family.
