Butterfly Art
I was fascinated by the beauty of butterflies as a young boy and began collecting them at a very early age. The life span of a butterfly is quite short and many are lost to a brief but fatal encounter with vehicles on our roadways. I amassed a large store of them by picking them up from certain roadways I knew to be productive. I protected then in canisters with moth balls. It was later in life that I began to seek ways to display them. Some specimens I put into glass domed arrangements. Later still I decided to place the wings in the shape of a butterfly making certain each wing was an exact as possible mirror of the opposite wing. More recently I have acquired wings from reputable sources and continue to explore means of displaying these beautiful feats of nature. These pieces are the result.
