Talk: Sharon Field "A Botanical Artist's response to climate change"

We are so happy to welcome botanical artist Sharon Field who is committed to documenting plant species on 8-metre-long scrolls of paper which have generated tears overseas as she works to raise environmental awareness. She has been creating art portraying Australia's flora for more than a decade, is drawing species from across New South Wales and the world, including some that are endangered, threatened, or at risk from climate change. She says her mission is to do one drawing a day until 2030 on 8-metre scrolls because it is the "longest piece of paper I can get". "It can be an Australian native plant that might be under threat, it might be an introduced species, it could be a weed," Field said. Sharon will be bringing her scrolls with her to show us!
