Palm Art Artist Reception and Exhibition

Carl Seale produces art from the cast-off date pods of palm trees in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The elegant shapes of these pods and the rich interior colors were the main attractions that led to the basic concept of PalmArt. Each pod exhibits an individual “personality” that often will suggest a special treatment or will contrast or complement others to create unique ensembles.
