I have an article in the June edition of Leisure Painters and The Artist Magazine. It’s called “Going for Gold” – which is much shorter, snappier and better than my title which was “How to exhibit botanical art and win a medal”!

| “Going for Gold” in the June Edition of The Artist Magazine |
Essentially it’s a synopsis of what you need to do:
- to be approved to exhibit at the RHS Botanical Art Show
- how to choose and develop an exhibit of 6 botanical artworks which might help win you a Gold Medal
- how to get a space at one of the shows – and what you have to do then in terms of delivery what is required
It also contains LOTS of tips – most of which came from RHS Gold Medal Winners who I’ve been interviewing for years!
I was very chuffed to find that my credit for the article, rather than being just a small paragraph in italics at the end which explained who the author was, that I actually got a photo and links to my websites!! (see pic on right)
The RHS Botanical Art & Photography Show 2025
You can learn such a lot about how to approach a major project from observation of the exhibitions which made it all the way through to the actual show. It’s a bit like going to watch the Olympics if you are an athlete!
This year entrance is FREE for the first time and pre-booking is not required!
There is a suggested donation of £5.
