Today’s Botanical Artists On Certificate Programs

June 24, 2008 by Tania Marien

6) How many of you have a certificate from a certificate program?

  • Yes = 8
  • No = 13
  • No response = 1

Programs referred to in “Yes” responses: Denver Botanic Gardens, New York Botanical Garden

Robin Jess: I don’t have a certificate, however, I started a certificate program for the New York Botanical Garden in 1984. However, I did major in art (no watercolor classes, though) and had a minor in botany in college.

Libby Kyer: I have a certificate from Denver Botanic Gardens Certificate Program in Botanical Art and Illustration, and received their Merit Award the year I graduated. Taking advantage of quality local education is a great way to grow, so I still attend a class at the DBG whenever a master artist comes in for specialty classes, and I routine contribute to publications by the Gardens, which is also fun. I also teach there, which is the best learning experience of all!

Rose Pellicano: I do not have a certificate from a certificate program although I have an art background and have studied with wonderful teachers .

Rayma Kempinsky Peterson: I do not have a certificate. However I have a BSc. In Botany.

Scott Rawlins:
Yes (maybe).

  • GNSI summer workshop (included botanical illustration), credit through the USDA graduate School, Washington, DC
  • MFA in medical illustration, University of Michigan. Included in the curriculum was a class in botanical illustration.
  • BA in biology – including a number of classes in botany and plant systematics

Dolores R. Santoliquido : I do not have a certificate from a certificate program. My early art training was based in realism. I have worked in a tight manner for my entire career. When I started doing natural science subjects and botanical illustration there were few programs offered. I began teaching in the New York Botanical Garden Certificate Program in the late 80’s and at that point it was impractical for me to go back and attain a certificate.

Wendy Smith: No, I don’t have a certificate but I do have a college degree in life science which helps me to better understand the subjects I’m rendering and their relationships in the context of the natural world.
