- Description
- I created this piece to capture the childhood wonder and whimsy of watching a butterfly in flight. Almost everywhere in the world, butterflies capture one's attention and are symbols of hope and resilience. Each of the butterflies/moths represented in my design are native to Waco and migrate through each year. I wanted to tie together a universal enjoyment of butterflies and the particular beauty of the butterflies found in Waco. The flowers included on the sides of the box are native wildflowers seen in Waco each spring and summer. In nature, flowers of complementary colors can be found blooming side-by-side to enhance their beauty and make them both more noticeable to pollinators. A local example of this is bluebonnets and orange Indian paintbrush flowers. The background colors of my design, yellow and purple, are complementary colors, inspired by the genius of wildflowers. Each butterfly and wildflower are my original acrylic paintings, which I digitized and assembled.
