Artist exhibits in botanic gardens

Pearl Beach artist, Marijke Greenway, will present an exhibition in the Palm House, the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens, from Sunday, March 30, to Thursday, April 10, 10am to 4pm.

She has been working on the theme for this exhibition "For Love of Trees" for a period of two years.

Ms Greenway said she hoped that her intense connection with nature was reflected in the exhibition and that it would be enjoyed by many people.

"We are so fortunate to be surrounded by the incredible variety of beautiful old trees here on the Central Coast - in particular the angophoras, the banksias and grass trees," Ms Greenway said.

"We are surrounded by National Parks that are treasure houses filled with trees that are, to my mind, living sculptures, and this has been and probably always will be - my fountain of inspiration.

"I recently commissioned my own website, giving an extensive overview of my work, which is divided into five areas of different themes, with great photos of my art work."
