As botanical artists, we continually search for inspiration to feed our creative endeavors. We don’t have to always search very far - within NESBA’s members we have so many talented artists. This month we shine a spotlight on Faye Van Wert. In addition to being an accomplished botanical artist, Faye is an illustrator, an author, and was an ESL educator. ASBA jurors selected two of her paintings for this year’s ASBA 25th Annual International Exhibit.
The paintings are Otter Pond 2, Yellow Pond-Lily; Watershield, Nuphar variegata, Brasenia schreberi, and Tall Bearded Iris, Iris germanica 'Bronze Bell'. Below is a link to both paintings and the STORY BEHIND THE ART OF FAYE VAN WERT. Faye’s stories include mention of what inspired her to paint these acclaimed art works. See her work here.
Additionally, she has exhibited in the 2018, 2019, and 2022 ASBA Annual International Exhibitions as well as at Filoli, OA Gallery, Brush Gallery, New England Flower Show, and Newport Flower Show.
