Friends of Grossmann House have organised the exhibition of intricate botanical art by Isobel Bowden.
Bowden was a pioneering conservationist who significantly contributed to raising awareness, appreciation and protection of the unique flora of the world heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park. Her works are a touring exhibition from the National Trust and the first to be held in the newly refurbished Cecily Mitchell exhibition space at Brough House.
Mitchell was a local artist, historian, conservationist and National Trust member who has written books about the Hunter. There are many links between Mitchell and Bowden, both as artists and their passion for conservation.
The current exhibition portrays the delicate notation of Blue Mountains flora where Bowden spent most of her life. The exhibition runs until June 30.
