Luna Moth, Archival Poster

About this collection:

Moths are often seen as pesky, invasive, sweater-eating night bugs that fly into your light and get caught in inconvenient places where you can't get them out. Some see them as the ugly nighttime counterpart to the beautiful image associated with the butterfly. However, moths are actually very valuable nocturnal pollinators. They are fuzzy, beautifully patterned, and can help your flower bed absolutely flourish.

The folklore that surrounds moths is fascinating. In Appalachian folklore, a white moth inside the home symbolizes the presence, protection, or spiritual guidance of your ancestors. Silk Moths have no mouth parts for eating and their entire purpose is to find a mate, continue the species, and complete the cycle when they die. Each type of moth from various corners of the world has its own folklore to accompany their already mysterious nature, being a nocturnal pollinator. 

About this painting:

Each type of moth from various corners of the world has its own folklore to accompany their already mysterious nature, being a nocturnal pollinator. Luna Moths in particular signal a fresh start and represent the quest for truth, knowledge, intuition, perception, awareness and enlightenment. 

That is why I chose to surround this beautiful little fuzzy with brightly shining stars, the new beginning of the crescent moon, and the rare blossoms of Moon Flowers. Acrylic on Canvas, 2022.
