My Talk: Following in the Bartrams' Footsteps

By Judy Thomas

I had the great good fortune of being selected to participate in the ASBA, juried, traveling exhibit, "Following in the Bartrams' Footsteps." I am giving a talk about the Colonial plantsman and explorer, John Bartram, my fascination with him, and the exhibit, on February 21, 2016, 1PM, at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.  It is free to members, and with a paid garden admission. I am giving the talk in conjunction with the Student and Teachers Exhibition, so you can see the lovely art on exhibit as well!

Interesting Website

By Judy Thomas

Here is a link to a website I stumbled on (I think, though someone could have sent me the link), Botanical Art & Artists:

http://www.botanicalartandartists.com

In looking through it, I saw some potentially interesting content: definitions and descriptions of botanical art; famous botanical artists and: classes worldwide.  If you have a moment, take a peek!
