About this Event

A lush celebration of wildflowers—the perfect gift for hikers, artists, or nature lovers!

Bestselling artist Molly Hashimoto brings her unique blend of vibrant illustration, engaging natural history, and intimate personal reflection to the Western landscape--this time exploring the ephemeral beauty of wildflowers. Organized by habitat, Wildflowers of the West showcases flora from wetlands, shorelines, and prairies to deserts, forests, and alpine meadows.

Accompanying each piece with natural history and stories of her own outings to find flowers, Hashimoto captures individual species through different media, from quick sketches with pen and ink to detailed watercolors and carefully planned block prints. Find exquisite golden columbines emerging from talus slopes, vast meadows of sky-blue lupine, scarlet displays of ocotillo in the southwestern deserts, and sunny blooms of glacier lilies as they herald the approach of spring. Weaving in the history of wildflowers in art along with sidebars offering practical techniques for artists, Wildflowers of the West is an inspiration for anyone who would like to try their hand at capturing the delicate beauty of wildflowers they encounter or simply an armchair album for those who appreciate the natural beauty of the American West.

Molly Hashimoto teaches and leads plein air watercolor painting and printmaking workshops around the West, including at the North Cascades Institute, Yosemite Conservancy, Winslow Art Center, and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. The author of four books including Trees of the West and Birds of the West, she lives in Seattle. Learn more at mollyhashimoto.com.

North Cascades Institute is an education nonprofit, inspiring environmental stewardship through transformative learning experiences in nature. Since 1986, the Institute has offered dozens of ways to explore the North Cascades Ecosystem, with hands-on learning adventures from the Cascades Crest to the shores of the Salish Sea. Diverse educational programs invite students of all ages to learn about the natural and cultural history of the region's mountains and watersheds, explore interconnections between human and ecological communities, and work together to foster healthy Northwest ecosystems where all species thrive.
