Merle McIntyre
Merle was previously a nurse and then a potter. Her lustred black pots have been exhibited around Australia and she has work in private collections around the world.
In 1998 she started botanical illustration classes with Dianne Emery through the Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, specialising mainly in lichens, liverworts and mosses. These specimens are enlarged, using a microscope and hand lens, so that the viewer may see the detail of these tiny plants that are not visible with one's naked eye.
Merle has exhibited paintings in each biennial exhibition of "The Art of Botanical Illustration" from 2000 to 2008 and in several group exhibitions.
The Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne bought a lichen painting in 2002 and a liverwort painting in 2006 for their State Collection. These two paintings along with 3 other works are in the exhibition "HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW - THE FORGOTTEN FLORA" which is presently in its third year travelling Australia.
