In nature, solitude is rare. When I walk through forests, fields, and gardens, I’m always aware that what I see above ground is only part of the story. Beneath the surface, plants are in constant conversation—sharing space, exchanging nutrients, and supporting one another through intricate underground networks. The botanical landscapes that make up the Natural Companions Collection grew from my desire to honor these relationships and the quiet intelligence of plants that choose to grow together.
This 16×20” artwork celebrates plants that are often found growing together in mountain meadows of New Mexico and greater Southwest specifically in June: yellow cinquefoil and purple harebells.
Each piece is top-matted — the handmade watercolor paper with its deckled edges sits on top of the mat, keeping the plant and paper fully visible. The frame includes spacers so the plants are never in contact with the glass.
Yellow and purple are common, vibrant colors in nature, especially in flowers, because they are complementary colors, creating high contrast that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing plant reproduction; this pairing appears in various flowers like asters, goldenrod, violets, and crocuses, and even in fruits, sunsets, and minerals. This is an original pressed plant artwork — not a print or reproduction. This piece is currently sold out — contact me to commission a similar work. Frame size: 16×20" | Mat: natural | Frame: natural wood Ready to hang. Ships carefully packaged. Every purchase gives back: 10% of profits support the Navajo-led Carrizo Mountain Herbarium in Shiprock, New Mexico.
