Commonly Observed Flora, Fauna and Fungi of the United States
This growing series of over 500 pencil drawings examines the biodiversity observed in the backyards, urban green-spaces and public lands of the United States. Using community science data available through iNaturalist, I am using these drawings to compose prints that illustrate the biodiversity observed in each of the fifty states. Prints and original drawings in this series are available for purchase in my webstore.
