About this artwork
Heather flower reaches up to the sky with her leggy roots. Heather flowers commonly mean good luck, admiration, and protection. A monarch butterfly, caterpillar and honey bee all move towards a joe-pye (milkweed) flower, which is extremely aromatic (smelling similar to vanilla), and attracts bees and plenty of other pollinators including hummingbird moths. Shadows of weeds and other leggy plants create background images but the star of the show remains…
the monarch butterfly.
Researchers estimate that 970 million monarchs have vanished since 1990. There are a number of threats to monarch butterflies including habitat loss, climate change and agricultural pesticide use that is reducing milkweed populations. Planting milkweed in your garden can help to save monarchs so that they have continuous food along their migration to Mexico each year.

Nancy Joyce is an American mixed-media artist who is interested in the concepts of time and circles, which she explores through themes such as flowers gone to seed, wheels and the flight patterns of birds. Layers are an important part of Joyce’s work. She builds up her paintings with handmade papers, modelling paste, acrylics and oils, often sanding down certain sections for extra texture and depth. Joyce has become increasingly interested in the female experience, with her ethereal works exploring the multifaceted relationship that women have with time.
