Moths

I began this body of work during my January 2024 artist residency at Mauser Ecohouse near Parrita, Costa Rica. I was inspired by the tremendous biodiversity of that beautiful place. Wanting to paint something soft and delicate, I envisioned a color palette of warm browns and other earth tones. I started reading about the variety of moths native to Costa Rica. I became fascinated with the beautiful, intricate details of these little creatures, and a new series of paintings was born!
