About the artist, Nan Wilson:
Nan's focus is on uncultivated plants and creatures from the wild. And not just in their most beautiful states, but in all phases of their life cycles. Included are not only beautiful adult butterflies but those overlooked, downtrodden critters and plants often stigmatized as weeds or pests that many people uproot or spray. She dedicates her art to honoring and protecting them.
Each print made individually, one-by-one.
Created with durable, oil pigmented inks on archival papers. Shipped with a label for the reverse side of the print (once framed) offering information about the subject matter.
