Oversized dahlias in rust and cream burst across a warm ground, interwoven with stylized serpents, frogs, and mantises in teal and gold that create a rhythmic, all-over pattern. The composition draws from natural history illustration and decorative textile traditions, layering botanical and zoological forms with confident, interlocking lines that suggest both scientific curiosity and ornamental abundance. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
