Botanical Artists Guild of Southern California: The Art and Science of Native Plants
January 11 – March 15, 2014

The Theodore Payne Gallery is pleased to host a juried exhibition of work by members of the Botanical Artists Guild of Southern California (BAGSC). The Guild is a chapter of the American Society of Botanical Artists, an organization dedicated to encouraging the development of botanical art and the promotion of this artistic tradition.

Throughout history, botanical art has played a crucial role in the discovery and identification of plants – including the California flora – and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Botanical art has the power to communicate the importance of plants to our world, whether through conservation, horticulture or agriculture. Botanical art adheres to the highest standards of both art and science, making it unique among all the art forms.

Jurors Olga Eysymontt (BAGSC founder), Bart O-Brien (Director, East Bay Regional Parks Botanic Garden) and John Wickham (Past President, Theodore Payne Foundation and Curator of Theodore Payne Archives) selected 23 artworks by 14 artists for this exhibition. Participating artists are:

  • Nina Antze
  • Diane Daly
  • Estelle DeRidder
  • Clara Josephs
  • Joan Keesey
  • Patricia A. Mark
  • Arillyn Moran-Lawrence
  • Lesley Randall
  • Mitsuko Schultz
  • Gilly Shaeffer
  • Janice Sharp
  • Deborah Shaw
  • Gayle Uyehara
  • Jude Wiesenfeld

An opening reception will be held this weekend on Saturday, January 11, 2014 from 2:00 – 4:30 PM. Artist demonstrations and jury results at 3:00 PM.
