The Guest 🐞 -Don't be fooled by their common name! Ladybugs are beetles (Order: Coleoptera) & not true bugs (Order: Hemiptera). -Mouthparts can be a helpful ID tool. True bugs possess a straw-like "stylet" to feed, where beetles have mandibles for chewing food like this unfortunate aphid. 🪲🪳🐡🎨

Collaborating on Botany of Nations has been so rewarding and humbling. I hope you have a chance to see this immersive multi-sensory exhibit it in person. 💚

Botany of Nations is now open at: The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University 1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway Philadelphia, PA Public hours: Friday-Sunday | 10 AM - 5 PM

Earlier this year, I was asked to paint seven life-size plant sculptures for the Botany of Nations exhibit. The exhibit brought together an incredible group of artists, scientists & Indigenous historians to share rich botanical knowledge known long before Western colonizers claimed "discovery".

✨Thrilled to finally share the exhibit that I've had the honor of working on at The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel @acadnatsci.bsky.social : "Botany of Nations: Indigenous Ecological Knowledge and the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery" 🪳🪲🌱🐡🎨

Finally, I want to acknowledge these folks in particular, who offered ample guidance and support at every step of the painting process. Go check out the exhibit!

Penstemon Inflorescence and Pollen Wasps. (2026) Watercolor and gouache on 8x10" cotton paper. Commissioned work. It was a delight to paint this delicate botanical piece as a gift for a client’s grad school supervisor. 🧪🪲🪳🎨🌱🌸 Where no crawly is creepy! LindZeamays Illustration Lindzeamays.com
