New exhibition at Inverness Museum and Art Gallery of work by Victoria Crowe, who many of you will have looked at in class for inspiration.


Victoria Crowe’s long term interest in the study and drawing of flowers and plants naturally lead to an exchange between the artist and the scientist David Ingram, Master of St Catherine’s College in Cambridge and formerly Regius Keeper at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh on the wider aspects of knowledge of plants and nature. 
The exhibition is based on the artist’s study of the wonderful old archives, herbals and historic collections of plants in Cambridge and Venice. The delicate beauty and detailed analysis of the plant forms illustrate the natural link between science and art.


The exhibition is open until January 8th 2011 and admission is free.
