Iceni Botanical Artists
Iceni Botanical Artists were founded with the aim of encouraging and practising a high standard of all forms of botanical art through annual exhibitions by members.
- They exhibit on an annual basis around East Anglia.
- Local botanical artists have sought to promote the unique plant life of Breckland by producing botanically accurate watercolour paintings of the wild flowers to be found on the Heaths and Grasslands.
- Paintings on show in exhibitions are all devoted to the plant kingdom ranging from scientifically accurate plant portraits to freer interpretations, mostly in watercolour.
|
Green spaces, gardens and gardening have been a salvation for many during the turmoil of the pandemic – a place of safety, peace and beauty with time to sit and admire the natural living world all around, plus a possible escape from the traumas that have confronted us all. Many of the paintings on view at our exhibition will have been painted during these difficult times and we hope they give as much pleasure to view as has given us to create. |
|
Past exhibitions:
In 2014 the group worked on a three year “Breaking New Ground” Heritage Lottery Grant Funded Project teaching the painting of the beautiful and rare flora and fauna of ‘Breckland’ in locally held workshops.
