Botanical Bounties draws inspiration from
the abundance of seeds, fruits, nuts and pods to be found in the plant
world and portrays these bounties in recent paintings, drawings and
photographs.
The exhibiting artists include Margaret
Castle, Geraldine Douglas, Jan Duigan, Annabell Gordon,
Angela Langley, Steph Goss, Matthew Gordon and guest exhibitor
Arnolda Beynon.
Margaret Castle, who has curated the
exhibition, is a well-known botanical artist whose passion for her
subject extends beyond the studio. She is an enthusiastic gardener,
naturalist, teacher and mentor to many. Her botanical paintings and
drawings have been seen in both solo and group exhibitions and can be
found in many private collections both in Australia and overseas.
Geraldine Douglas, Jan Duigan,
Annabell
Gordon and Angela Langley all live in the Macedon Ranges Area and have
successfully exhibited both locally and at the Royal Botanical Gardens,
Melbourne.
The paintings of talented local artist
Steph Goss will be familiar to many in the Macedon Ranges as well as
further a-field and this will be an opportunity to see her most recent
work.
Botanical Bounties also welcome a
special guest exhibitor in Arnolda Beynon. Arnolda has come to Australia
from the UK where she painted and exhibited as a member of the
Florilegeum Society at the Sheffield Botanical Gardens. She is delighted
to use her skills as a botanical artist to explore the native flora of
the Australian bush.
Matthew Gordon's sensitive photographs
will also make a welcome appearance at the exhibition.
