Did You Know?
A butterfly landing on you is often considered a sign of good luck, and throughout history, butterflies have symbolized transformation and renewal. Few butterflies are as striking and well-known as the Monarch, with its brilliant orange and black wings.
With every piece I create, my goal is not only to inspire and entertain but also to educate—embedding fascinating facts like these directly into my artwork.
For this Monarch Butterfly piece, I carefully selected words like flutter, metamorphosis, and wanderer, along with phrases such as “beautifully colored,” “are poisonous,” and “migrate south 3,000 miles per year.” In total, you’ll find over 30 words and phrases hidden throughout this artwork, each one celebrating the beauty and resilience of these incredible insects.
Every piece of my art is digitally hand-drawn, one letter at a time, with no word or phrase ever repeated. Depending on the complexity, each artwork takes between 6 and 60 hours to complete.
I truly hope this piece brings you as much joy as I had in creating it!
