This art print is a reproduction of my original watercolor painting featuring a super zoomed-in view of a bed of lush green mosses with bright orange sporophytes, a spore-containing capsule that allows the moss to propagate. I created this painting from a photo I took in the Laurel Highlands area of Pennsylvania. My eye was drawn to the contrast between the bright orange and fresh greens of this bed of moss.
Materials: Printed by a local print shop in West Virginia on 100# textured white felt paper (for the look & feel of watercolor paper!). Size: 11x14 inches.
Made in United States of America
Hello! I’m Rosalie.
I’m an illustrator specializing in creating captivating hand-rendered visuals relating to the natural world.
I use illustration to honor the places and creatures that often go unnoticed. My goal is to remind viewers of the amazing intricacy of our planet. I hope that after seeing my work, people will spend a few more minutes scouring the forest floor for tiny treasures on their next adventure into the woods.
Another passion of mine is creating illustrations that break down educational and scientific information in a way that is engaging to a broader audience. I want to make learning accessible to work toward a deeper collective understanding of how the earth works.
I am also an educator. So far, I’ve enjoyed teaching field sketching, watercolor illustration & outdoor observation workshops in schools, national parks, and REI stores.
