"The gallery’s exhibition for February 2024 is the 14th Annual “Botanicals” Online Art Exhibition. Both 2D and 3D artists, from around the world, were asked to submit their best abstract and/or representational art.

The gallery received 598 entries from 18 different countries around the world, as well as from 30 different states and the District of Columbia.

The exhibition has been divided into three media categories - Painting & Other Media, Photography & Digital and 3 Dimensional categories. In addition, there is an overall Winning Artists Category, which is the “best of the best” and consists of the twelve (12) best entries comprised from all the media categories.

The gallery also included Special Merit awards and Special Recognition awards for outstanding art. Many of the artists in either of these groups could have easily been included in the upper tier of our winners, as their art was also exceptional."

Maureen's image "Metallic Green Bee on Blue Flax Flower" was awarded a Special Merit Award in the photography category only.
