2025 Art Calendar Now Available!

The 2024 Wildflower Art Calendars were so popular, we decided to do it again this year!

Like last year, the calendar is a fundraiser for conservation projects at the Institute for Applied Ecology’s Southwest Office. This year the theme is “Rare Plants” and supports their field efforts such as rare plant surveys and monitoring, rare plant seed banking, and recovery efforts for rare plants and animals.

Many of my photos in the calendar are images from a decade of photographing rare plants in the Southwest (mostly New Mexico). I also included several new ones I photographed this year that are specific to the work of Institute for Applied Ecology. In order to get these photos, I did a lot of bloom chasing this past season: traveling long distances to find these flowers in bloom in their unique habitats, hiking many miles with sometimes vague descriptions of the plant's locations drawing on all my years of wildflower chasing to find them, then waiting out monsoon storms for the rainbows that follow, dodging dangerous oil and gas development traffic on rutted backroads. Lest you think that sounds like hardship, its actually my favorite kind of adventure! And, I'm so happy to do it in support of a good purpose and mission!!

I hope you'll pick up a copy to adorn your walls for the next year and enjoy these plants that give us so much: food, shelter, peace, beauty, and more.

Order your copy on Institute for Applied Ecology’s website through the end of January.

Local pick up option in Santa Fe are available to avoid shipping costs.
