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.

RMSBA’s ZOOM member meeting on July 6 – hosted by Susan Fisher – drew as large an attendance as we ever have had at in-person meetings, and members from afar could join in. We may have to do that again. We had a lovely presentation by Mary Dillon of Kilkenny, Ireland, who was up at 1 am local time to talk with us at 6 pm here. Thanks, Mary. Thanks, Susan.
