Cheryl Wright Green

New York City artist Cheryl Wright Green (Art’69) published a full-color cacti guidebook featuring the prickly pear species. She has been creating mural-sized field paintings featuring the prickly pears’ rose-like flowers, flat pads and dramatic spines since 2005. Cheryl’s book project involved six years of travel photography and research on prickly pears to untangle the names, data and photos of 93 variations. Her book can be found at www.exoticplantbooks.com.
