Roxie brings you…
Sarah Abbott - Botanical Gardens
I've chosen Sarah Abbott's updated edition of the Botanical Gardens print for my first pick of the season.
I am a bit of a fan girl of Sarah's work, and have another of her pieces in my house already. I think the way she captures the building so accurately and yet with such simplicity is really wonderful, and it's a big piece too, which makes it really impressive to see.
The Botanical Gardens are a pretty special place to me - when I first came to Sheffield in the early 2000's I found it quite difficult to be in a city, it felt quite claustrophobic to me, and when I discovered the Botanicals it became a bit of a sanctuary for me. The pavilion itself always brings back fond memories from a very snowy New Years Eve years ago. I was walking home in the not-too-early hours of the morning and decided to walk through the Botanical Gardens, it was so beautiful. My friend and I sat by the frozen waterfall just looking at the early morning sun reflecting on the glass.
A memory nearly as beautiful as the picture!

Recommended Frame
At APG we want to help you show of your new artwork in the best possible way, so we work with each artist to offer a range of framing options which best highlight their work. For this piece we have chosen a natural finish in a cushioned light ash frame, and simple black or white options, with a natural white acid free window mount. For that extra special look we also have hand-finished versions in ash - stained black or in a custom colour to match the print - and limed.
