Introducing my spring art collection

Celebrating the beauty and bounty of Appalachian forests

I’m delighted to share a new series of watercolor art prints that celebrate the beauty and bounty of Appalachian forests during warmer months.

These illustrations were created for my forthcoming book, Tiny Worlds of the Appalachian Mountains: An Artist’s Journey (Sept. 1). I selected these particular pieces for the collection because they have a cohesive color scheme and style, making them perfect to display together.

As a thank-you for being here, take 20% off this collection at checkout through Sunday, April 14th using the coupon code: AWAYFVH7721X or by clicking any of the links in this post. Hope you enjoy the new artwork! ❊

~ Pawpaw Tree ~

This 11x14 inch watercolor art print shines a spotlight on the common pawpaw tree, nicknamed the "Appalachian Banana". This tree grows throughout the eastern United States (except New England and Florida) and produces a tropical-tasting fruit that is celebrated at festivals across the region in late summer. I particularly love the moody, crimson blossoms that are out this time of year.

~ Wood Frog ~

This colorful, 8x10 inch art print features a wood frog that I spotted hanging out next to some bright yellow mushrooms in Maine. This frog is a common forest friend throughout much of the United States and one of the earliest amphibians to emerge in spring. 

~ Ghost Pipe ~

This 11x14 inch painting depicts the otherworldly form of ghost pipe, a bizarre Appalachian wildflower that has a pure white appearance because it lacks chlorophyll and instead sucks nutrients from tree roots. Often growing in beds of moss, this is one of my favorite plants!

~ Ruby-throated Hummingbird ~

I observed this handsome male ruby-throated hummingbird nectering on orange spotted jewelweed in Québec. This tiny bird is the primary pollinator for spotted jewelweed.
