On Show in Oriel Gymunedol | Community Gallery: Wales Society of Botanical Illustrators

This month we have welcomed new artwork featuring medicinal plants by the Wales Society of Botanical Illustrators to our Oriel Gymunedol | Community Gallery in Level 0 at The Grange University Hospital. 

The group have made this work in response to the new collection of plants in the Llanfrechfa Grange Walled Garden which is open to visitors and is a short walk across the carpark.

The WSBI are an enthusiastic group of illustrators ranging from total beginners to accomplished and exhibited artists. We meet regularly for painting, drawing and socialising, and they share a passion for illustrating all types of plants and a love of nature. National Trust Wales has been very supportive of the WSBI and their continuing close association with Tredegar House, in Newport, South Wales offers the Society the opportunity to reach a wider audience through our regular meetings. WSBI welcome visitors to drop in to the Laundry Training Room at Tredegar House where they hold our fortnightly Saturday painting and drawing sessions. They love to chat about our artwork and visitors often talk about and share images of their own art.
