Square image of five glowing golden yellow orchid cactus flower blooms and five scalloped-edge green stems on a patterned dark purple and turquoise background. 12” x 12” original monotype by Anita Heckman, 2025. Available soon at https://www.anitaheckman.com/

“Golden Orchid Cactus” My most recent #monotype, inspired by a colorful hybrid. In the wild, it’s an epiphyte or “air plant” that grows on the surface of another plant and gets its moisture and nutrients from air & rainfall. #Stunday #artyear #printmaking #botanical #nature #sciart #akuainks 🌺🌱🌷

Great News! My artwork will be showcased at the Hoffman Art Center in Manzanita, Oregon this March. "Chronos," will be included.
