Six of DAB’s very talented botanical artists
were privileged to be selected to exhibit in ‘Artistic Endeavour’ an initiative of the Botanical Artists Society of Queensland (BASQ) in
partnership with Museums and Galleries Queensland. The exhibition travelled to selected regional
galleries in QLD and northern NSW during 2021 and 2022 marking the 250th
anniversary of Captain James Cook’s voyage on the HMB Endeavour and the legacy
of Banks, Solander and Parkinson.
The
DAB artists who participated in the exhibition were – Sandra Ford, Jennifer
Foster-Hamilton, Colin Price, Inger Rowe, Liz Showniruk and Ellen Terrell.
The
botanical artworks by these artists from the exhibition, are now on display in
DAB’s gallery until the end of April.
