FILOLI, located 30 miles south of San Francisco, is an historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century. Filoli hosts approximately six art exhibitions annually that vary in theme and content. With the exception of the Annual Botanical Art Exhibition and occasional larger exhibitions, they are invitational exhibitions. For invitational exhibitions, the curator invites artists from the Filoli Artist Registry, whose work fits within the theme of that particular exhibition. http://www.filoli.org/special-events-and-exhibits/art-exhibits.html#registry HUNT INSTITUTE FOR BOTANICAL DOCUMENTATION http://huntbot.andrew.cmu.edu/HIBD/Index.shtml
JOHN PASTORIZA-PIñOL The purpose of my art is to engender appreciation for contemporary botanical art and accurate realism. Contrary to stereotype, this art form is very much part of the contemporary art consciousness http://www.botanique-art.com/
ROSIE SANDERS' unique style of painting pushes the boundaries of Botanical Art and whilst fitting loosely into the tradition of the genre, the size of her compositions and intense richness of colour sets her apart from her contemporaries. The Flower paintings have a sensuous quality and drama that is unrivalled in contemporary botanical painting http://www.rosiesanders.com/
CLAIRE BASLER L'observation de la nature m'apporte l'écoute et l'ouverture. Je ne suis qu'un maillon pour transmettre sa vitalité, sa force, sa douceur, sa violence, sa sensualité. Sa richesse est une source inépuisable, sa ténacité est un enseignement, sa beauté est une émotion renouvelée chaque jour. The observation of nature brings me the ability to listen and to be open. I am but a link for the transmission of its vitality, its force, its gentleness, its violence, its sensuality. Its wealth is an inexhaustible source, its tenacity is a teaching, its beauty is an emotion that finds itself every day renewed http://www.clairebasler.com
LOUIE SCHWARTZBERG Beautiful macro imagery of insects and animals pollinating flowers to ensure life continues on Earth... "A love story that feeds the Earth. Rarely seen by the naked eye, WINGS OF LIFE allows you to experience the most intimate intersection of the animal and plant worlds, the mystical moment where life regenerates itself over and over again" http://www.movingart.tv/wingsoflife/
