Inspired by travels to Costa Rica, this illustration features the vibrant life of the tropics—from beetles to birds, each subject drawn with rich color and a naturalist’s eye. This is not an idealized vision, but a detailed and true-to-life reflection of what was seen, studied, and honored.

For those who feel drawn to the biodiversity of warmer climates or who want to remember a place they’ve been, this piece brings that world home. It can serve as both artwork and conversation starter—a reminder of how alive and interconnected our planet really is.
