Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators
PSBI is an organization of artists from all walks of life who enjoy painting in the hyper-realistic form of botanical illustration, while continuing to produce accurate, beautiful, artistic compositions. There are many accomplished artists in this organization who are published illustrators, college educators, have works on permanent display at the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation in Pittsburgh, PA and Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA, as well as members who have sold both commissioned and non-commissioned works to private patrons. The mission of the Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators is both educational and philanthropic: to educate ourselves and others about the history of Botanical Illustration; to celebrate the artistic development of our members; to provide an opportunity to exhibit together; and to bring Botanical Illustration to the attention of many audiences.
