WelcomeFriends of The Gardens is proud to have been involved since 1999 with the development and promotion of the work of professional and amateur botanical illustrators and artists, and was delighted to present this, the tenth annual Botanica exhibition. In this exhibition there were 126 paintings selected from over 250 submitted. They represent the work of 63 artists from all states of Australia. The works were selected on the following basis: that they should accurately represent the form and botany of the chosen subject; they should adequately convey the characteristics of the species or variety; and they should be artistically pleasing, balanced and considered works of art. They must also be identified and named accurately according to standard botanical practices. The final collection on display offered an outstanding opportunity to acquire works by talented emerging artists as well as those by artists with well-established national and international reputations. For some artists this was the first time they have exhibited at a major exhibition. We were delighted to be able to offer so many artists this opportunity to display their work.
