Rachel Tribble: Fine Artist in Full Bloom

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) March 21, 2011 -- The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is in full bloom! From now until May 15, Guests will stroll throughout Epcot and be dazzled with bright blooms, Disney Character topiaries, live music from the Flower Power Concert Series, and learn gardening tricks and tips from HGTV personalities and Disney Horticulture Specialists. The annual event also highlights talented artists showcasing nature and wildlife-themed artwork.

Collaborative efforts continue as Disney Theme Park Merchandise and talented artisans create unique and enchanting artwork exclusively for the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. The 18th year of the festival marks the second time that they have partnered with artist Rachel Tribble.

“The artwork for the festival is a collaborative effort between Disney and I,” said Rachel, whose work has been featured in local and national media. “We consider flowers that will be highlighted at the festival and also flowers and colors we just love.”

Rachel’s bright colors and stylized interpretation are a perfect fit for the festival. “I try to reflect the feel of the festival, so that when people are home they will look at the art and remember the beauty of the gardens they saw in the park.”

Rachel’s artwork is on a number of items that can be found in locations around World Showcase and the Garden Gifts Festival Center in the Wonders of Life Pavilion. “We were blown away by the immediate response to the work,” Rachel recalled of the festival’s opening. “Sales have been dramatic.” Selections include lightweight t-shirts that are perfect for spring, vibrant tote bags & hats, magnets, key chains, and so much more. Guests can also pick up a poster or petite print of Rachel’s design to brighten up their homes.

Her original paintings and limited edition prints are on sale 7 days a week during the festival, and Rachel herself will be present every Saturday and Sunday to showcase her art at Garden Retreat and talk to guests about her inspirations to create each piece of masterful artwork. In case you aren’t able to make it out to this year’s Flower & Garden Festival, you can find limited selections of Rachel’s artwork online at DisneyParks.com/Store in the upcoming weeks, though most of the pieces can only be viewed in their entirety at the event itself.
