PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS

THE DRAWING FOUNDATION

The Drawing Foundation is a community of curators, practitioners, collectors, conservators, art historians, dealers, students, and enthusiasts interested in and passionate about drawings. Dedicated to cultivating the study and appreciation of drawings through events, classes, exhibitions, and scholarship, we also serve as a resource hub and vibrant network for members around the world.

SOCIETY OF BOTANICAL ARTISTS

Established in 1985, The Society of Botanical Artists brings together artists of national and international repute.
With so much emphasis on environment, portraying the plants that are so vital to our planet and restorative to our souls, our mission is to promote the skills of artists using a varied range of media who all excel in their ability to portray botanical forms in an accurate, unique or interesting way.

Marcel Jomphe, SBA Fellow (SBAF) Web Page: https://www.soc-botanical-artists.org/artist/marcel-jomphe/

Fellows are those artists whose work is consistently of a high standard of artistry and observation and who can rejoice in becoming part of a Society that has a broad and yet vibrant selection of artistic styles, while still supporting and highlighting the excellence of exquisite botanical illustration.

This type of membership is restricted to professional, practising artists who require the qualification ‘SBA Fellow’ (SBAF) to demonstrate excellence in this field. Our aim is to encourage and support those at the pinnacle of their artistic prowess. Our Fellows will be representative of the best botanical artists from around the UK and the world.

AMERICAN SOCIETY OF BOTANICAL ARTISTS

ASBA Mission

To provide a thriving, interactive community dedicated to perpetuating the tradition and contemporary practice of botanical art.

ASBA Vision

Botanical art will be considered a significant, relevant, and respected contributor to 21st century art, recognized for its unique power to educate, promote ecological awareness and enrich our lives.

I am an active member of ASBA since 2016. I participated to the Art of Plant International Exhibition held in 25 countries in 2018. The Canadian exhibition was presented at the Nature Museum of Canada, Ottawa.

GUILD OF NATURAL SCIENCE ILLUSTRATORS

Science illustration is much more than pictures in a textbook. It encompasses all forms of visual science communication, including animation, comics, murals, sculpture and even jewelry. It can play a vital role in conveying information from any realm of science, from archaeology to astronomy, botany to cartography, zoology to molecular biology, and many others.

I was an active member of the GNSI in the 80s and 90s. I participated to two exhibitions organized by the guild in the United States.

MONAT GALLERY

I have been represented by Monat Gallery from 2020 to 2023. With Monat, my drawings and photographs were showed in different cities in Europe.

A contemporary art gallery located in the old town of Madrid, working to build a close connection between modern and contemporary, emerging and professional artists, through collaborations with art collectors around the world.

With a team of professional art curators, MONAT offers a wide range of high quality services such as international representation and the possibility to participate in group exhibitions organized at the gallery.

CIRCLE FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS

Circle Foundation for the Arts was created in 2017 and functions as an international arts platform. It annually represents a unique, juried selection of visual artists in it's online gallery. Although many artists apply for membership, its goal is to maintain a small and exclusive selection of Featured Artists.

I have participated to many projects of the Circle Foundation for the Arts over the last few years.
