Jewel of the Forest

Jewel of the Forest celebrates the extraordinary beauty hidden within one of nature’s smallest creatures. Set against a deep, nearly black background, the tiger beetle glows in brilliant turquoise, emerald green, fiery orange, and warm gold. Its metallic colors give the insect the appearance of a tiny piece of jewelry rather than something one might simply pass by in nature.

The hand-lettered identification card transforms the painting into something reminiscent of an old natural-history collection or museum specimen, while the vibrant color brings the beetle back to life. The piece is a reminder that some of nature’s most remarkable works of art can be found in the smallest and most unexpected places.
