‘TROPICAL MADNESS’

TROPICAL BOTANIC ARTISTS

The 44 colorful, but scientifically-accurate works in Tropical Madness are executed in watercolor or colored pencil, some with added gouache or pen and ink. Tropical Botanical Artists, whose 16 members are Miami-Dade residents, held its first group exhibition 12 years ago at the First National Bank of South Miami’s Wirtz Gallery, and are delighted to open their latest exhibition at the bank again.

The Tropical Botanic Artists collective was established in Miami, Florida, in 2006 to pursue the beauty of tropical plants through art. Its members come from all walks of life and each brings a unique viewpoint to his or her work. They share the love of the natural world and it is reflected in their admiration for botanical subjects. They hope that their viewers will take a moment to observe the wonders of minute detail in plants and bring these new powers of observation into everyday life.
