I have an article in the June edition of Leisure Painters and The Artist Magazine. It’s called “Going for Gold<\/i>” – which is much shorter, snappier and better than my title which was “How to exhibit botanical art and win a medal”!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

“Going for Gold” in the June Edition of The Artist Magazine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Essentially it’s a synopsis of what you need to do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • to be approved to exhibit at the RHS Botanical Art Show<\/li>\n
  • how to choose and develop an exhibit of 6 botanical artworks which might help win you a Gold Medal<\/li>\n
  • how to get a space at one of the shows – and what you have to do then in terms of delivery what is required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It also contains LOTS of tips – most of which came from RHS Gold Medal Winners who I’ve been interviewing for years!<\/p>\n

    I was very chuffed to find that my credit for the article, rather than being just a small paragraph in italics at the end which explained who the author was, that I actually got a photo and links to my websites!!\u00a0(see pic on right)<\/i><\/p>\n

    The RHS Botanical Art & Photography Show 2025<\/span><\/h2>\n
    One of my major recommendations is that you should always try and visit the show before trying to get accepted.<\/b> <\/p>\n

    You can learn such a lot about how to approach a major project from observation of the exhibitions which made it all the way through to the actual show. It’s a bit like going to watch the Olympics if you are an athlete!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    This year entrance is FREE for the first time and pre-booking is not required!
    There is a suggested donation of \u00a35.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
