MAP GALLERY
From a group entitled, "Before They Were House Plants", these pieces are a reminder that house plants don't originate in the floral department of the local grocery store. Every plant grows wild somewhere and has a purpose in the ecology of that place.

This work is created with colored pencils and old maps.
