This painting was inspired by my recent trip to Florida where I saw gopher tortoises among prickly pear cacti in the scrub trails and an abundance of cottontail rabbits. Catch it at Hive Artspace Saturday & Sundays 12:00-4:00PM or via the online gallery. I also have a variety of prints available at Hive.

You may recall I painted Goldfinches/Meadow for a seed packet for Sow True Seed. They reached out to me yesterday to let me know that, by popular demand, my seed packet artwork has been turned into a postcard! Check it out here and maybe buy a few to support Sow True Seed, a small, employee-owned co-op based in North Carolina. My seed packets are still available as well and it’s not too late to plant your Northeast Native Flower Mix!

HIVE artspace‘s Heart(sic) exhibit opened on February 6 and runs through February 27. My piece, Ruby-Throated Hummingbird and Scarlet Bee Balm, is a watercolor painting done on Arches cold press 140 paper, then mounted to a heart-shaped wood panel and sealed with cold wax to protect it from damage caused by dust and moisture. It is ready to hang and can be displayed as-is, without the need for glass. The piece is approximately 12″x12″. See the entire exhibit and purchase online or in person.

A small number of giclee art prints are available at HIVE as well! They are printed on archival Hahnemuhl rag paper and are 8″x8″.

Back in the spring of 2025, Sow True Seed put out an open call to artists to design seed packets for their 2026 seed catalog. I was lucky enough to be selected and was assigned the Northeast Native seed packet. This was perfect for me, given my large wildflower garden! Painting this was second nature since this packet contains many of my favorites—new england asters, brown-eyed susans, coreopsis, and more!

I added goldfinches to my design, since my wildflower garden attracts many goldfinches all year long. Even now in January, I can see them perching on the dormant stalks, pecking at the seed heads for winter sustenance.

Here is the full painting I made for the packet:

watercolor on paper

16″x16″

I also made this available as a free downloadable wallpaper for phones. And the original painting will be available for purchase this spring.

If you’d like to buy this seed packet, it’s available for order online through the Sow True Seed website.

Thank you again to Sow True Seed. It was a pleasure working with you on this design!
