Exhibit at the Botanical Gardens

Pearl Beach artist Ms Marijke Greenway from is holding an exhibition in the Palm House in Sydney's Royal Botanical Gardens from November 9 to 22.

The exhibition is titled 'Heartbeats of Trees' and will be open daily from 10am to 4pm.

Ms Greenway aims to encourage appreciation of native vegetation, banksias, angophoras, scribbly gums and paper barks, waratahs, gymeas and grass trees.

"Trees are my passion.

"They are so eminently paintable.

"When I am walking through our bush, looking at the trees, there are always some that make my pulse race.

"They come in reds and whites, in greys and blacks, with their knobs and knots and dancing branches, droplets of sunlight flickering across ponderous limbs," said Ms Greenway.
