Signed Fine Art Print of the Monarch and Related Species

This painting is a reminder that our beloved monarch is in fact a member of a huge and wide-ranging family of butterflies, the Danaidae, that often bear scant resemblance to our familiar representatives. However all of these insects, like the members of every family of insects and animal, spring from a common ancestor, and bear common genetics and physical features.

This painting faithfully and precisely reproduces the beautiful colors and striking design of the insects I have pursued and studied since childhood. My style is inspired by that of my grandfather, Arthur Cushman, a noted illustrator who worked for the Smithsonian Institution and the USDA, whose paintings and drawings helped set the standard for scientific illustration in the mid 20th century.
