The Botanical Artists Guild of Southern California invites you to view two new exhibitions of botanical art. Earlier this month, the Guild opened Botanical Visions in the Ecke Building at the San Diego Botanic Garden.

This weekend they open a second show at Chapman University in Orange, CA. This second show highlights drought tolerant plants and California’s changing environment. To create this exciting new exhibition, the Guild worked with Dr. Jennifer Funk and her ecology students in the School of Earth & Sciences. Artwork by southern California botanical artists will be on view in the Doy and Dee Henley Reading Room and on the Clarke Gallery Wall on the second floor of the Leatherby Libraries.

Meet the artists in person at the Artist Reception on Thursday, February 7, 2013 (7-9 PM). Please RSVP for the reception by February 1, 2013 by calling (714) 532-7742.
