Hazel Morris passed away peacefully yesterday morning. This is a post which aims to remember her - with words from her SSBA colleagues and friends and Hazel herself plus my thanks for the help she gave me. Yesterday I received a very sad email from Kathy Munro, Secretary of the Scottish Society of Botanical Artists . It is with great sadness that I inform you of the death of Hazel Forsyth Morris who passed away peacefully this morning in St Columba’s Hospice.
I began my adult working life as a Home Economics teacher, and painted in watercolours, mainly landscapes, as a hobby and a way of relaxing. Hazel was a perennial member of the weekly botanical art class in Falkirk held by Fiona Strickland and Robert McNeill. I received a contribution (below) from Fiona this morning - plus photos of:

JURORS: These are chosen from suitably experienced artists and botanists.
ELIGIBILITY: Entry is open to all artists whose work has been submitted and approved by the BISCOT assessment panel. These successful artists may apply for space to exhibit in subsequent years. Exceptionally, artists may be invited to exhibit without assessment. The RCHS reserves the right to reject work which it considers unsuitable, e.g. sub-standard to that sent for assessment or presented other than as described in the rules and regulations. The number of artists will be limited to the space available. Acceptable sizes are below. Size really does matter!

INSURANCE: Notes regarding insurance, packaging and labelling can be downloaded from the BISCOT website.
If an artist has not exhibited within seven years following successful assessment, then work must be re-submitted for a new assessment. If the reason for not exhibiting has been lack of space, then the period of eligibility will be extended and the artist will be given priority in the next exhibition.
