Currently the Vignettes exhibition is taking place at the Art Gallery of Ballarat until 15 March.

It features the works of artists Amanda Ahmed, Sandra Severgnini, Mali Moir and John Pastoriza Piñol. They give us their insights not just into the working methods but the personal philosophies of four artists who have devoted their considerable talents to natural history illustration.


The artists have drawn on their interest and skill in recording natural history to create new work that reflects human frailties and transient concerns.

Vignettes continues the growing identification of the Gallery with botanical art and natural history.

Australia has one of the most vibrant traditions in the world of artists recording the natural world, and Vignettes will include a snapshot of some of the finest examples of the work of Australia's contemporary natural history artists.


While the hand drawn image might be no longer fundamental to the classification of plants and animals, there is something extraordinary about the work of artists who have been trained in this tradition.

Art Gallery is open seven days a week from 10.00am to 5.00pm.

Anyone who enjoys looking at the environment, be it flowers in the garden or creatures found on the seashore will enjoy Vignettes exhibition on display in Ballarat until 15 March.
