Mission Statement

The Rocky Mountain Society of Botanical Artists is an open and diverse group of artists, collectors and admirers who share a love for the practice and perpetuation of botanical art and illustration with a fond focus on plants in the Rocky Mountain Region.
We encourage and participate in educational outreach, juried and non-juried exhibits, lectures, workshops and regular chapter meetings. The RMSBA is proud to be the very first chapter affiliation of the international organization, the American Society of Botanical Artists.

Rocky Mountain Wild! Here is a list of 30 wildflower hikes at peak bloom in July.

Check out the new imagery at Our Executive Board, above. We do have a couple vacancies we’d like to fill, and some terms are ending. Volunteer for the Board!

Photosynthesis is the most important process on Earth. For most earthly plants, photosynthesis stops at 104 degrees F; for wheat, central to many culinary cultures, it is 100 degrees. Much of the nation’s wheat, potatoes, and green beans are grown in eastern Washington and Oregon, so I expect lower yields there and in the upper Midwest will generate a rise in prices. Between 1984 and 2017, vegetation cover in desert ecosystems in Southern California decreased by 35%. When grassland cover falls below 20% on the High Plains, winds lift the dry soil into great clouds in dust storms.
