Gold Medal winning
​Exhibit Titles at
​RHS Botanical Art Shows

List of Titles of Gold Medal Winning Exhibits at RHS Botanical Art Shows
​

Exhibit titles are listed under one of the following categories:
  • Family or Genus Names
  • Exhibits related to specific locations/habitats
  • Habit / Lifecycle / Growth
  • Common and Generic Names
  • Medicinal Plants
  • Theme names related to botanical history
  • Unspecific Theme names
  • Unspecific / media related names
  • ​Mixed plant names

​I'm no Linnean, do feel free to suggest a better classification or a better category name.
BELOW you will find the title of all gold-medal winning exhibits listed - in one or other of the categories - along with the year it was exhibited and the name of the artist.

It's very easy to draw some conclusions.....  


I intend to develop a seperate listing over time for exhibits not awarded a Gold Medal.  
  • Bear in mind my comments related to each category relate to those exhibits which have won Gold Medals.
  • As I begin to develop the listing for other medals, I don't expect the ratio between the categories to be the same.

The banner image is of three of the paintings in Annie Hughes gold medal winning exhibit
​of Eucalyptus of Western Australia in 2017. Annie has won four RHS Gold Medals in total.
You can see more images of past botanical art exhibitions in ARCHIVE: RHS Botanical Art Shows 2007-2018. 
This 
  • provides an overview of the RHS Botanical Art Shows in recent years (2007-2018).
  • Lists Best Painting and Best Exhibit winners and all RHS Gold Medal winners + exhibits
  • Includes images of the shows and the botanical art and illustration which won prestigious awards.

RHS Gold Medal winning exhibits - the names
​

Gold Medal Winning botanical artwork ALWAYS stands out.  For those aspiring to win Gold it's worth reflecting on what it takes for your artwork to be "stand out".  Often it's a clear and consistent theme which looks good on the display panels and doesn't look like anybody else's work.

Family or Genus names

  • Pears of the Piedmont 2011 - Lidia Vanzetti (Italy)
  • The Foliage of Cultivars of Begonia Rex 2010 - Kay Rees-Davies (Conwy, Wales) 
This is a popular category which seems to be favoured by those with
  • a strong botanical or horticultural background and/or
  • who have a particular interest in growing plants and/or
  • who know specialist growers who have a great collection!

Gold medals are often won because the artists know their plants in great detail - and know how to reveal what it is that makes each plant distinctively different.

This is the category that is perhaps closest to the work done by botanical illustrators who work for:
  • the botanists in botanic gardens
  • the horticulturalists who want to highlight what's different in the genus or species
  • Curtis's Botanical Magazine

Exhibits related to specific locations
​

  • Endemic Plants of Okasawara Islands (Unesco World Heritage Site) - Kimiyo Miyahara* (Japan)
  • A year in the Yorkshire Hedgerow 2018 - Bridget Gillespie  (UK)
This is a very popular category.
​It's very similar to a number of collections of botanical art made in the past by famous artists who:
  • explore new lands 
  • documented what was found in specific places

The locations can be large or small or tiny - from entire countries, to regions, localities and specific habitat areas or natural growing environments (eg hedgerows and grass verges)
Picture

Habit/Life Cycle/Growth names
​

Picture
The Tip of the Branch 2016 by Roger Reynolds (UK)
  • The Life of a Leaf, Aesculus hippocastanum 2019 - Louise Lane GM (2012, 2014)  
  • The Lifecycle of the Shimonita Welsh Onion 2019  - ​Naomi Gumma*

  • Hydrangeas in autumn & winter 2014 - Gael Sellwood (UK)
  • ​Nature in waiting 2013 - Julia Trickey (UK)
  • ​Winter Oaks 2012 - Christiana Webb (UK)​
A category for those who are prepared to wait and document over time - across the seasons and years!

Many artists that focus on the life cycle require 2-3 years to capture all the data for all the plants.

​It takes longer if the weather decides to be uneasonal!

​Medicinal plant exhibits
​

  • Medicinal Fruits and their symbiosis with Pollinators​ 2018 - Sarah Jane Humphrey
  • Medicinal plants 2010 Brigitte Daniel (Oxfordshire)​
Rather fewer exhibits than one might expect linked to
  • medicinal plants of the past
  • medicinal plants identified / documented in herbals of the past
  • medicinal plants used by specific cultures

​Common and Generic Names
​

Picture
Varieties of Hardy Geranium 2013 - Laura Silburn (UK)
FLOWERING PLANTS
  • Roses ​2018 - Mayumi Ishii (Japan)
  • Bee Orchids ​2018 Esmee Winkel (Netherlands)
  • Roses 2017 - Mayumi Ishii (Japan - Tokyo) 
  • The Orchid 2016 - Esmee Winkel (Netherlands)
  • Persimmon 2015 - Masako Mori (Japan)
  • Chrysanthemum Flower Heads 2015 - Karen Musgrave Hill
  • Roses 2014 - Janie Pirie 
  • Orchids 2013 - Sandra Sanger (Australia)
  • Varieties of Hardy Geranium 2013 - Laura Silburn (UK)
  • Orchids 2010 - Sheila Mannes-Abbott (Somerset) 
  • Orchids - Slipper & Australian natives 2013 - Sandra Sanger (Australia)
  • Astrophytums 2012 - Annie Hughes (Australia)
  • Fading Flowers Observed 2012 - Julia Trickey (UK)
  • The Anatomy of Flowers 2011 - Carolyn Jenkins (UK)
Acute observers will note that the word "orchid" is repeated on a regular basis!

This may date back to when the botanical art show was held in London at the same time as the Orchid Show. Or it may just be because people like painting orchids - and they last longer than other flowers!

"Roses" is another popular theme.
Picture
Citrus 2013 by Annie Hughes (Australia)
FRUIT
  • Apples - A Wisley Pomona 2014 - Dr Julia Craig-McFeely (UK)
  • Citrus 2013 - Annie Hughes (Australia)
  • ​Magnolia fruits 2010 Celia Crampton (UK)
​VEGETABLES
  • Vegetables 2010 - Clare McGhee (Edinburgh) 
Very few exhibits of fruit and vegetables - expressed simply by their common name.

​Those that win Gold tend to be stunning!
OTHERS - Fungi etc.
  • Seed Heads 2018 - Bernard F Carter (UK) ​​​
Very few exhibits with very plain names related to trees or fungi

'Theme' names related to botanical history
​

Picture
The Citrus of the Medici Family 2016 by Simonetta Occhipinti (Italy)
  • ​The Citrus of the Medici Family 2016 - Simonetta Occhipinti (Italy)
Some theme names are 'spot on' botanically - but the history behind them is probably only known to a very few. Be prepared to explain the theme title again and again during the course of the exhibition!

Unspecific 'Theme' Names
​

  • A Rooted Fascination 2012 - Norma Gregory (UK) - fab paintings of the roots and root vegetables
  • Botanical Elegance 2007 - Yvonne Marie Arnsdorf (UK)
Theme names like novel titles may be intriguing - but on the whole more explicit ones work better

Unspecific / Media related names
​

  • Watercolour rubus 2007 - Keiko Sasaki (Japan)
The exhibition is about botanical art - not which media you did it in.
This type of name is more typically chosen by first timers who have never visited the show or looked at any of my write-ups of past shows.

Mixed Plant Names
​

Exhibits which are just a collection of paintings of different plants are very unlikely to do well - UNLESS there is a clear explicit theme underpinning the choice - and that theme needs to be in the exhibit title.

They also result in very long titles which can make for a major challenge when creating the title for your stand!

List of Titles of Exhibits by other artists - by category of medal

This will follow in due course.
