For the first time, local botanical and floral
artists will be painting on site at the South African Airways Cape Town
Flower Show.
Art in progress artists include Sandy Slater, Desmond Nel
and Daphne Mackie who will be showcasing their works in mediums ranging
from watercolour and silk technique, to oils and pastels. These artworks
will be on display at the flower show art gallery.
Among the artists showcased will be three botanical artists
from the Botanical Art Association of South Africa (BAASA) including Vicky
Thomas, Judy Wheeler and Elbe Joubert Domrose, and a number of
prize-winning South African Society of Artists (SAFA) who will display art
with a floral theme.
Lyndi Sales, widely renowned as one of South Africa’s top
contemporary artists and voted one of the top 10 finalists in the ABSA
Atelier Art competition in 2003 and 2006, has created two beautiful
botanical prints which will be given away as prizes to a lucky visitor to
the show. The prints have been framed and donated by HandMade Framing,
South Africa's leader in unique framing and ready-framed pictures. Entry
forms will be available at the entrance to the show and from exhibitors.
The South African Airways Cape Town Flower Show features
South African and exotic plants showcased through 60 mini gardens created
by landscapers to inspire and educate visitors.
