Heliconia Dreaming – Tropical Flower & Hummingbird Art – Archival Print
The 'Heliconia Dreaming' watercolor is part of my 'Dreaming' series — a collection of tropical flowers paired with imagined hummingbirds, butterflies, and moths. The Heliconia bihai, with its deep red flower brackets and lime-green edges, takes center stage, while a dreamed hummingbird adds a touch of magic.
Inspired by the rich beauty of the Caribbean and Central American rainforests, this piece brings a burst of tropical warmth to any space. Whether it's a beach house, a villa, or even a cabin in the Arctic tundra (yes, I see you!), this print is a reminder of nature's vibrant colors and endless creativity.
Originally a 22" x 30" watercolor on Arches paper, this archival giclee print captures every detail of the lush Heliconia and the delicate hummingbird. Let 'Heliconia Dreaming' transport you to the tropics, no matter where you are.

Visualizing art filling a specific space on the wall can be tricky.
An easy way to see if the size of the print you are considering fits your wall space is to cut a piece of poster board to size and tape it to the wall to see if it is what you need.
If the print is on stretched canvas, it is ready to hang. However, a print on paper needs a frame, so you'll need to add inches to the width and height of the posterboard mockup to accommodate mating and framing.Example: A narrow one-inch wide frame with a standard 3-inch wide mat around the artwork would add 8 inches to the width and height (4-inches each side, top and bottom). So a 15"x20" print would be 23"x28" when hung.
