SUMMARY:Sharon Field ‘3000 days ... and counting ...  - a botanical artist's response to Climate Change’
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \n	At the end of 2021 an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report said that we have to keep global temperatures to not more than a 1.5 degree Celsius rise by 2030.  At that time\, 2030 was 3000 days away.  As a botanical artist Sharon Field decided to do a drawing a day for 3000 days – one drawing a day until 2030.   You will be given a unique opportunity to examine first hand an original oversized work – a 15 metre\, hand-painted\, still evolving scroll. What is the message behind this work called “3000 days … and counting …”?” \nBiography   \nSharon Field began her botanical art career on 2009 after careers in the Australian Public Service in Australia\, and Australia’s aid program in the Pacific and Africa. \nHer art has been exhibited in Australia\, London and the United States\, with one of her works travelling for 18 months in a touring exhibition around the USA.  She was awarded the Anne Ophelia Dowden Grant by the American Society of Botanical Artists\, and was Awarded a Diploma of the Society of Botanical Artists (Distinction) and the Award for Excellence (London) by the UK Society of Botanical Artists. \nSharon has held 10 solo exhibitions and has participated in many group exhibitions in Australia and overseas.   \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/COBHT \nBooking\n	Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/COBHT \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Many summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au.
