SHOW YOUR WORK

Current members of ASBA are eligible to have a Member Gallery on the ASBA website.

The botanical art tradition combines science and art. Botanical art encompasses a range of styles and may take the form of scientific illustration or realistic drawing and painting of botanical subjects. Botanical artists seek to understand the structure of plants and to communicate this knowledge to their audience in an aesthetically pleasing manner. The subject plant must be the prominent feature of the work. All images should be of work executed by hand in traditional botanical media.


Images submitted to the Member Gallery may also be displayed elsewhere on the website.


Scam Advisory: Members, please use caution when responding to email offers to buy your work. While there are many legitimate inquiries about your work, there are also many scams. A typical one is that a "buyer" sends you a check written in a higher amount than the purchase price, and rather than sending you a new correct check, they ask that you refund the difference. You guessed it - their check bounces and you have sent them a good check.


Color Correction: All digital images will need some color correction. Please review the examples below before sending images of your artworks.
