It is for all the endangered, endemic, and native species that are quickly vanishing due to development and lack of education of the importance of this unique ecosystem. It houses Eastern Red Cedar, purple topped Nashville bread root, leavenworthia crassa, Tennessee milk vetch, Alabama glade cress, Michaux gladecress, Alabama Larkspur, smooth rock cress, yellow sunnybell, small skullcap, harper's umbrella plant, prairie Indian plantain, halictus ligatus, wild stonecrop, lyrate bladderpod, leafy prairie clover, blue-eyed grass, spider milkweed, yellow stargrass, eastern shooting star, sorry pacoon, Indiana bat, dogface sulphur. The Sutra that blows this prayer of survival into the wind is: The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

This depicts my research for all the endangered, endemic, and native species that are quickly vanishing in this county due development and lack of education.

It was the key illustration in Winter 2024 Dirt Magazine, an award winning magazine published by the BBG. The featured article recounted the year round bird feasting that draws a direct line back to the necessity of native plants, as host to insect species as pollinators and food sources for birds throughout the year. The relationship between the plants and creatures year round were studied, sketched in the field, researched, and then reimagined as a visual narrative. The painting is meant to be informative to the viewer, to sharpen identification of the various species, and show the nature of the specimen for further education. Education, after all, is the nest built for care and conservation. The Black Gum Tupelo’s drupes are ready for the Robin and other birds in Autumn. Shown are also the tree’s flowers in Spring, which attracts the Striped Hairstreak, an essential pollinator for the tree and food for young birds, too small to ingest nuts. The Virginia Witchhazel can also be found in the garden. This plant is shown with her late fall seed pods, Winter blooms, and Spring foliage. It is a host plant for the Large Lace Border. Though it’s believed it isn’t a pollinator for the plant, as this plant blooms in winter, it does thrive on the leaves, providing nourishment for birds in later spring. The American Goldfinch gathers the seeds after they burst forth in late autumn, and hopefully replant more of this intriguing plant in new areas. The subtle Smooth Blackhaw is shown in 2 phases, Spring and Fall. The Blue Azure is an early spring butterfly that pollinates the plant, and is a source of food for smaller birds and adults gathering food for their young. The cedar waxwing enjoys the variety of food sources throughout the seasons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fe55c2440243349c943600/1727636847716-4L0YNY6LJJQZXAX3TIKR/image-asset.jpeg Home - Trillium Temple Watercolor and gouache on watercolor board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fe55c2440243349c943600/1727636906955-NQCO4PYOKU19RO5MJQJU/image-asset.jpeg Home - Gray Headed Coneflower On the Autumn Equinox 2024 Watercolor and gouache on watercolor paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57fe55c2440243349c943600/1613363838738-DBPPYLQ4C991CE5QGQBZ/image-asset.jpeg Home - Aw Carrots Dummy Book by Me!
