When I first learnt there was a Botanical exhibition at the Bermuda Society of Arts, I assumed it was a show by traditional botanical illustrators. I recall there are a number of qualified botanical illustrators on island so naturally thought it was a show of their work.

When I did see the exhibition, Bermuda’s Botanical Treasures, I was surprised. It showcases work by some well-known artists, as well as some who are lesser known but none are botanical illustrators. Having written that, I do not want you to see the show as a put-down. It is a small, but worthwhile exhibition.

The exhibition consists of 47 paintings, woodcut prints and photographs.

Some of the exhibiting artists are Sheilagh Head, Vaughn Evans, Diana Amos and Belinda Tartaglia.

Consider Head, who is known for her impressionist landscapes and occasional abstracts. But I detect a change in her recent work, in that she is seemingly combining the two approaches. Can I use the designation, “abstract impressionism”?

Whatever the case, she is at the top of her game, as seen in her three botanically based paintings. Her new works is free, fluid and fresh.

Vaughn Evans is a master printmaker, especially with his woodcuts and in this show he is expanding into colour printing.

Of the photographers in the show, see Lisa Green’s two detailed photos of palms fronds shot in an unusual light.

I was drawn to the decorative aspects of Vanessa Shorto’s Nature’s Curves, especially the muted greens and warm greys, highlighted in gold.

Diana Amos has several paintings on show, but note especially her watercolour; Winter Poinciana. Consider its sculptural, organic qualities.

Belinda Tartaglia has a number of work in the show but seek out her Bird of Paradise. See also her Big Kahuna. I initially saw it as a muted, textured abstract. I then saw it for what it is, but still. It’s abstract qualities are appealing.

It's a small, worthwhile show. Go and enjoy it.
