The
works chosen for the exhibition had to feature plant species of
Australia, the definition of which is ‘any wild plant indigenous to
Australia, including natural hybrids, but excluding any cultivar,
man-made hybrids, and naturalized exotics’.
Entries were solicited from botanical artists across Australia and eventually one hundred and nine works were chosen to hang in the exhibition. Jurors for the exhibition were renowned botanical artists Beverly Allen, Leonie Norton, and Jenny Phillips and botanists David Albrecht and Anna Monro.
From these selected works, 40 were chosen to be sent digitally
around the world for viewing in the other participating countries. These
were chosen to showcase both the talent of our botanical artists
and the diversity of our native flora.
Each country provided a
digital slide show of up to 40 works, which were compiled with all of the
other countries images and shown at each venue during the run of the
exhibition.
Some of these shows including Australia’s are available on the Botanical Art Worldwide YouTube channel.
Countries participating included Australia, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Russia, Scotland, Southern Africa, Thailand, Ukraine, United Kingdom and United States.
