The tradition of botanical art and illustration continues today with renewed interest in a vigorous course of study here at the Wellesley College Botanic Gardens. Our students come from near and far. Some come to the discipline for the artistic experience and find a fascination with plants and the underlying science. Others with a passion for plants look to botanical art as a means for improving observational skills.
Most who participate in our botanical art classes find the experience an exciting and personally rewarding challenge. The dedicated enroll in our certificate program. In this exhibit twenty-one students ranging from beginner to more advanced share their art and their thoughts about botanical art.
