Small prints
These works of fine art by Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medal Winner, Carol Woodin, were painstakingly printed using a vintage Heidelburg press on heavy 100% rag paper. Each edition is limited to 250, each print is hand embellished by the artist in watercolor, signed and numbered.

Orchids.
Orchids are the world’s largest family of plants. There are over 30,000 species of orchids.

Many are highly endemic. Orchids are particularly vulnerable to extinction from deforestation, environmental change, or overcollection.

Carol Woodin's orchid botanical paintings offer us a gift to our senses I find as rare as some of her subject matter.

I am proud to offer you this first limited edition of Carol Woodin's "Orchids". They are all signed and numbered by the artist. There are less than 20 of each print left.

Please call me directly (or email me) so I can answer your questions or help you order yours today.

Treemendously,
