An ABC alphabet print featuring Insects found in the Pacific Northwest. All artwork was originally created in watercolor and ink, and extensively researched.
Print features 26 insects, and includes: Monarch Butterfly, Common Green Darner, Fender's Blue Butterfly, Western Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly, Praying Mantis, Vivid Dancer Damselfly, & more. The emphasis on this poster is beneficial garden insects, although I did include one potential, relatively minor garden "pest" - the Rhododendron Leafhopper, which is a beautiful and distinct sight in the Pacific Northwest.
This image was printed as a high-quality Giclee print: printed on archival, matte paper, which is a smooth, neutral-white, acid-free, hot press paper, and offers a lot of detail! Image is both designed and printed in the USA: in Portland, Oregon.
This project was funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council, via an Arts 3c grant. I partnered with entomologist Dr. Gail Langellotto, who generously agreed to fact check the visuals of this poster, and suggested a number of insects that are featured on the design.
