Damselfly Watercolor

Part of the Insect Specimen Series 2017.

Watercolor painting of specimen, signed prints available in limited supply.

Each painting/print is designed to provide a death-free alternative to having your favorite insects on your wall.

Bugs-Under-Glass Series

I had planned on buying a leaf insect, a few random beetles, spiders, and assorted bugs. I just had to wait until the next paycheck to buy the leaf insect. While those two weeks passed I would see the mounted insects on the wall and “squeee” with delight. But then, I started to think about this little creature was in fact a living thing that someone had to kill to mount for me. Granted the life of an insect is not one for the history books, generally…but alas…I started getting the “guilties”.

So I came up with the “brilliant” idea of painting my own little insects. This way it would save a life, and I could enjoy specimens without guilt. Thus, my Bugs-Under-Glass Series began.

I do take commissions, so feel free to contact me with the bug of your dreams.
