Each year, millions of Monarch butterflies migrate from North America to Mexico and back. Because of the extreme distance and the fragile nature of butterflies, they stop en route to lay eggs, and baby Monarchs from those eggs instinctively know to continue the route. Inspired by my young friend Laura, I made this print both to honor and encourage women who flew from Mexico, or whose parents flew from there. The text is the end of a sentence describing the grace with which challenges are overcome:"... like butterflies insist on flying."
