Even in Nature captures the rare and striking phenomenon of gynandromorphism—a condition in which an animal displays both male and female characteristics. In this 7x9in oil painting, a single butterfly rests against a soft lavender background, its wings split in identity: the left side vibrant in deep blues and larger form, representing the male; the right side subtler in warm browns and slightly smaller shape, representing the female.

This gentle but powerful piece speaks to duality, balance, and the natural beauty of complexity. Created using reclaimed materials, Even in Nature invites viewers to reconsider what’s “normal” and find grace in the unexpected. A thoughtful addition to any collection, especially for those drawn to science, symbolism, or the quiet brilliance of nature.
