Discover the remarkable beauty of the natural world in Garden Portraits, an exhibition of botanical art by Oleksandra Novatska. A botanical artist and educator with over 17 years of formal art training, Oleksandra combines traditional botanical accuracy with contemporary creativity. Her work has been exhibited and commissioned both locally and internationally, celebrating the beauty of plants through exquisite detail, vibrant colour, and artistic expression.
Whether you're an art enthusiast, gardener, or simply inspired by nature, this exhibition offers an opportunity to slow down, look closely, and appreciate the extraordinary character of flowers and plants. Visitors can also learn about Oleksandra's upcoming Autumn course, Fundamentals of Botanical Art, which explores the journey from traditional botanical painting to contemporary botanical art, welcoming beginners and experienced artists alike.
