The American Society of Botanical Artists has organized an important traveling exhibition "Losing Paradise? Endangered Plants Here and Around the World". Of the 125 entries received only 43 artists works were selected. Five artists represented by Susan Frei Nathan have been accepted into this juried show: Jean Emmons, Lara Call Gastinger, Rose Pellicano, Lizzie Sanders and Carol Woodin. They captured the endangered plant life in its natural habitat working from real-life specimens within their short life cycle. These images provide useful information for scientists studying the effects of global warming on nature and as a record for posterity.
The traveling schedule for this exhibit visits: Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri from October 1 - November 15, 2009; Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe, Illinois, January 16 - April 11, 2010; The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York, May 6 - July 25, 2010; and finally to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC from August 2010.
