The Kampong
Experience the beauty of Florida’s native plants and animals through the artistic lens of South Florida watercolor artist Kim Heise’s Florida Naturally Wild exhibit of original works on display this summer at The Kampong.
Kim reveals her love for Florida’s native flora and fauna through captivating large-scale watercolor paintings that capture keystone and endangered species, revealing the dynamic but delicate relationships between Florida’s native wildlife. The exhibit presents the Florida panther in Big Cypress National Preserve, native owls, lizards, mangroves, and other natural wonders presented in the stylish setting of The Kampong, a historically important site in south Miami.
The Florida Naturally Wild exhibit is open to the public from June 23 through August 26 on Tuesdays through Fridays from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. with three Saturday exhibit dates offered on June 24, July 29, and August 26.
Visitors to The Kampong can enjoy these environmentally inspired paintings included in the price of admission to a garden tour. Parking is limited and online reservations are strongly encouraged. Reservations can be made via our online booking site. Email kampong@ntbg.org for additional information.
