PSBI Exhibit at the
March
2010 Philadelphia Flower Show
"A
Passport to The World"
February 28
- March 7, 2010
"Celebrating
the Artist as Explorer"
In keeping with the 2010 flower show theme, Passport
To The World,the Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators
has chosen to showcase paintings of plants introduced to the U.S
from the far corners of the world by plant hunting expeditions
throughout history.
A little known fact is that illustrators have always
been important members of these explorations. What surprises many
is the fact that many of these early botanical artists, who traveled
to some of the most remote and uncivilized places on earth were
women! While botanical illustration is by no means an exclusively
female occupation, the PSBI would like to dispel the myth that
it is a mere "hobby" for the pampered housewife.
Botanical artists are still valued today on plant hunting expeditions
to illustrate specimens in an accurate and detailed manner that
even the most sophisticated camera cannot capture.
