Marianne North: Victorian Trailblazing Botanical Artist

Lifelong Learning | Available (Membership Required)

Garden Guru Doug Oster presents the life and work of Marianne North, who explored the world during the 19th century creating over 600 oil paintings housed in her own gallery at Kew Garden in London.

 

Oster will show her amazing art while reading about each one from North's journals. He became obsessed with the artist's work in 2013, on his first visit to her gallery and has returned several times to learn more about this artist and biologist.
