Botanical Flows by Livingston Artist Simone Anthony-Brown Now on View at the Livingston Public Library

Livingston, NJ — August 2025 — The Livingston Public Library is pleased to present Botanical Flows, a vibrant new collection of circular paintings by Simone Anthony-Brown, a local Livingston-based artist and founder of Express Yourself Studios. The exhibition is currently on view in the Youth Services Department and the Common Area of the Library and will remain on display through the end of September 2025.

Botanical Flows features 14 circular 8x8-inch canvases, each offering a dynamic exploration of movement, color, and natural form. Through sweeping shapes and layered textures, Anthony-Brown evokes the elegance and energy of petals in motion—capturing fleeting moments of beauty in an abstract, contemporary style.

“This series is a joyful meditation on nature’s rhythm,” says Anthony-Brown. “Each piece feels alive—intentionally fluid, colorful, and full of motion.”

The work showcases her signature approach to form and texture, blending acrylic paint, oil pastels, and layered techniques on circular canvases that emphasize continuity and flow.
