Orchids lovers across Australia were absolutely disgusted to hear about the 900 endangered species being selfishly dug up and stolen from Kings Park Conservation garden this year. One of those species is the Carbanup King Spider orchid which only grows in a very restricted part of WA and has only around 280 specimens left in the population.  
 

I personally felt such anger over this, and I hope the offenders are caught and prosecuted. This news motivated me to create 2 mini paintings, The Dark Side of Orchids 1 & 2. The still life paintings each feature one of the poached species taken out of their natural environment. My hope is that these pieces act as a tribute to the lost orchids and help to start a discussion around conservation. There is absolutely no need to steal and trade these beautiful plants. I urge people who want to own a piece of their beauty to purchase art instead of orchids themselves, and if you know anyone trading in illegal orchids, report them! 

MATERIALS

Canvas or fine art paper? The biggest difference between these two materials, is that canvas can be framed without glass, whereas fine art paper requires glass for framing.Both materials are identical in colour, they are archival quality and printed on the best materials. Our meticulous and careful process means we produce a never-fading, museum quality artwork that will last a lifetime. 

 Paper prints are printed on 290gsm(A4-A2) or 320gsm(A1/A0) 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper. We do not offer framing for paper prints, sorry.
