Fitch uses watercolor to map the specific markings of Maine’s common butterfly species, arranging them into a balanced, repeating sequence. The work leans into the tradition of entomological illustration, where each insect is rendered with attention to its unique anatomy and the subtle shifts in its wing patterns.

The palette draws from a natural spectrum of green and blue hues, grounding the fluttering subjects in a sense of quiet outdoor observation. By turning these individual creatures into a cohesive pattern, the piece highlights the variety found within a single ecosystem, inviting a closer look at the small, often overlooked details of local wildlife.
