Midwestern Wild Habitats Series




I was recently hired to create a triptych of works that are going into a new hotel that will be in the Chicago area. The hotel will showcase the work of many Chicago artists. I was excited about the opportunity to follow through on an idea that I have had for sometime. I've been wanting to create a number of pieces that honored the wildlife and landscapes of the midwest. These are limited edition screenprints that will be going into a number of rooms at the hotel. The first image is a cross section of a tallgrass prairie, with a coyote and some underground inhabitants. The second is of a marsh with cluster of Sandhill Cranes, and a peak into the watery environment surrounding their island. The final is of a bald cypress swamp of the sort that can be found at the very southern tip Illinois in the Cache River State Natural Area.

These are available in the ETSY Shop.

  1. Wow! These are great, Diana! I especially love the split fountain in the cypress print. And bald cypress in Illinois? I never would've guessed it.

  2. I know, right? But our state champion tree is a 1000 year bald cypress. I am hoping to get down there someday to do a little canoeing.
