Life is so busy now we often don’t see what is in the world around us and we take those native species for granted. My goal with this project is to highlight the variety of native species found in the Hamilton area specifically and Ontario in general. Most people don’t realize the vast number of native plants, animals, birds, butterflies etc. we have here in the Hamilton area. To simplify the task I have started this project with species found on my own property and to date have identified over 100 natives to choose from. With 40 paintings so far I still have a long way to go. This series of art work shares both the beauty and diversity of nature that (when we look) we all have – right in our own back yards and provides me the opportunity to add my voice to the growing concerns around climate change and the risks to our natural environment.
