through April 28
The Botanical

of botanical
watercolor paintings and drawings at the Arboretum of Los
Angeles County.

Botanical
art is a centuries-old form of illustration showing the structure
and growth
patterns of plants. The number of galleries and shows featuring
contemporary
botanical art has grown, reflecting a resurgence of interest in
the art form.

York each
year by the American Society of Botanical Artists and the
Horticultural

the Carnegie
Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Certificate programs in

art are offered by the New York Botanical Gardens, Denver
Botanical
Gardens, and the Chelsea Physic Garden in London.
In Los Angeles
County, the Los Angeles Arboretum Foundation in Arcadia and

of Art and Design are among the institutions currently offering

drawing and painting classes.
The Botanical
Artists Guild of Southern California is a chapter of the

Society of Botanical Artists, a group of more than 800 artists,
scholars
and collectors, headquartered in New York City.
