My piece ‘Migration of Monarchs’ consists of two square panels of individually reverse hand painted and copper gilded glass suspended in a deep bespoke frame. The Iconic Migratory Monarch Butterfly has been listed as ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN red list of threatened species, meaning the species is likely to become extinct without significant intervention. The number of migratory Monarch’s has declined by 95% since the 1980’s due to climate change, habitat loss and the use of pesticides and herbicides.
🔴 *EDIT - ‘Migration of Monarchs’ is SOLD*
