Jane Lambert, previously a BAASA Gauteng member, has been appointed Australia's next High Commissioner to Malta, with non-resident accreditation to Tunisia. She is expected to take up her appointment in December 2012. Congratulations to Jane from the Gauteng BAASA members. It was through Jane offering her home as a venue, that the Pretoria Painting group was established and because of her that the group held two small exhibitions at Cameo Framers in Waterkloof. When she returned to Australia, she continued attending botanical art courses as her schedule permitted.

Johannesburg Botanical Art Exhibition 2012
The JBAE 2012 closed yesterday to a great sigh of relief from the organising committee and what a wonderful event it was. A HUGE vote of thanks goes to the organising committee (and some 'better' halves) who put in endless hours of work to make this exhibition a resounding success. Thank you all for a job well done.
