At the RHS Botanical Art Show in London, the winner of best in show is Isik Güner with her watercolour of Gunnera tinctoria, "inspired by Chilean flora".

Isik is familiar to us both for her artwork and also as the daughter of the Prof. Adil  Güner of theNezahat Gökyigit Memorial Park, Istanbul, Turkey.

Isik has done quite a bit of work at RBGE and she has won  several Botanical Art Scotia medals
 How marvelous that this very talented artist has won this RHS award too.
 


Her award was for a painting of Gunnera tinctoria


Her fellow Turkish artists have exhibited  their paintings of Chilean plants with success in Scotland too.
