About The Product:

“Franklinia” 
14” x 11” print - reproduction of an original acrylic painting.
The Franklinia alatamaha blooms in late summer. It was propagated by 
the Bartrams in the 19th century and beyond, saving the plant from 
extinction.

“Pangaea” 
14” x 11” print - reproduction of an original acrylic painting
This painting explores changing ecosystems and the adaptations of 
life that occur when continents collide. The native northern flicker and 
invasive spotted lantern fly share the landscape, wearing a similar 
color palette. The environment shifts from vibrant to desolate and 
back again as it weathers change.
Original painting available.

“Uprooted” 
14” x 11” print - reproduction of an original acrylic painting
A surreal landscape explores an isolated youth facing impossible 
circumstances.
Original painting available.

“PA Route 61 (destroyed)”
14” x 11” print - reproduction of an original acrylic painting
A portion of the forest surrounding the graffiti highway in Centralia, PA. 
A small town mining community, Centralia was abandoned due to an 
underground coal seam fire rendering the village unlivable in the 
1960s. The site later became a makeshift tourist destination. Visitors 
drawn to the eerie landscape would often leave graffiti on the 
abandoned highway riddled with cracks and smoke seeping from 
below. The surrounding forest was also painted in a kaleidoscope of 
colors, an unlikely epitaph to the town. The graffiti highway has since 
been filled to deter visitors.
