Coral Pink Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle
Oil on birch panel
Artists Statement
This piece is from a series of 30+ works. Here I am exploring the fascinating and infinite underworld of bugs. The image is under-laid with my new passion for metal-leafing, which promotes the precious qualities of these under-sung creatures.
Coral Pink Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle, Cicindela albissima – This lovely beetle inhabits an extremely limited range. It lives only in a portion of the geologic feature known as the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, in southern Utah. Critically Endangered
