Angela Lober |
Born in Sydney in 1966, Angela Lober started her career as a Landscape Architect, before completing a Post Graduate Diploma in Plant and Wildlife Illustration at Newcastle University in 1995. She has been exhibiting in Australia and internationally since 2000 and has a special interest in the uniqueness of Australian Flora. Angela challenges the discipline and experiments with materials and contemporary compositions and applications. She particularly enjoys working on vellum and the clarity and luminosity of colour that can be achieved on such a refined material. Her work is found in several international collections including the Isaac M Sutton Collection in New York and the Shirley Sherwood Collection in the UK, as well as in the State Botanical Collection, Melbourne, the Florilegium at the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney and the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Pittsburgh USA. She was awarded a gold medal at the RHS London in 2018 and silver gilt in 2012. In 2014 she won the Celia Rosser Medal for Excellence in Botanic Art, Melbourne and an honorable mention in 2018 and 2022. She won the BASA Botanic Art prize in 2022. She is a committee member of The Florilegium Society at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. |
