This watercolor series invites viewers on a delicate and powerful journey through the life cycle of the monarch butterfly—a symbol of transformation, resilience, and natural wonder. Each painting captures a distinct stage, from the tender beginning of a milkweed-munching caterpillar hatched from an egg to the dramatic unfurling of wings in a freshly emerged butterfly. The fluidity of watercolor brings a dreamlike softness to these intimate moments, mirroring the fragile beauty and quiet determination that define the monarch’s metamorphosis.
As the series progresses, it follows the monarch’s awe-inspiring migration across thousands of miles—a journey passed down through generations, guided by instinct and the changing seasons. Shimmering skies alive with movement echo the rhythm of flight and the pulse of the earth. This series is both a celebration of nature’s cycles and a quiet meditation on change, endurance, and the magic found in even the smallest wings.
