Mission Statement
Oregon Botanical Artists mission is to promote awareness of contemporary botanical art, honoring its traditions and furthering the development of local botanical artists.
About OBA
Oregon Botanical Artists promotes a thriving, diverse community of artists dedicated to perpetuating the contemporary practice of botanical art, as well as honoring its traditions. We strive to illustrate the diversity of plant life, as well as bring attention to those species and ecosystems which are imperiled.
Our monthly meetings provide camaraderie as we discuss our latest botanical art projects and practices. We also provide opportunities for workshops and field trips for our members. We sponsor at least one botanical art show each year. Our members are involved in a wide range of artistic endeavors, including teaching botanical art and involvement with the larger artistic community. We welcome artists with a wide range of knowledge, creative and technical skills, as well as botanical art appreciators, and those who celebrate the importance of plants in the world. Oregon Botanical Artists was established in 2012 and is associated with the American Society of Botanical Artists as an Artists Circle.
