Who is Asana Natural Arts?
I started my art business with a simple desire, to bring people closer to nature. When we feel connected to nature everything makes more sense. We feel better and more aligned with ourselves and the natural rhythm of the planet. During my travels in 2010 I encountered a butterfly house in Key West, Florida. It was a magical experience sitting on a bench inside the house for hours as I sat in wonder looking at all the butterflies flying around me. I was wearing colorful clothes so they were landing on me too, I was in pure bliss. From that experience I learned that I could acquire these butterflies after they die naturally on preservation farms like the one I visited and others in the rain forest that protects their land from deforestation. Butterflies only live a few weeks so every day butterflies naturally die on the farms and fall to the ground like a leaf. They are then collected and sold at that time. A desire was born within me that day to acquire these butterflies and make art with it that connects people closer to nature. We all have our own stories too about how inspiring butterflies are to us or have come into our lives in crucial moments when we needed it the most. Through experimentation I started creating nature scenes with my mom that incorporated dried flowers and real butterflies. This was 15 years ago and we haven't stopped creating ever since. Our art has evolved to include many styles. We create different scenes outlining the beautiful, but also the dark sides of butterflies including the death, rebirth, and the metamorphosis process. We are also able to use the butterfly wings, and especially the damaged wings, in our pendant jewelry which is also a favorite with our customers. Our art, creativity, and skills just keep getting better. However, it's not always rainbows. There's definitely bumps along the way as you need to learn how to market, how to level up your skill sets, and wear all the hats that a small business owner wears to make it all run. The most rewarding part still comes back to the initial desire of bringing people closer to nature. Through our art the customer is uplifted and reminded about the beauty and cycles of nature that brings inspiration and motivation for them to trust the metamorphosis process going on in their own lives.
As a family owned business we have branched into fine art jewelry, mixed media, and paintings. Visit our wholesale page to find out how to unite with us in offering one-of-a kind, quality products to your customers.
Preservation Farms
Our butterflies and other specimens live a full life and are collected after their natural passing in butterfly farms worldwide. Eggs laid on leaves in the wild rain forests are collected and hatched in the farms. Butterflies are then released back into the wild and the cycle repeats. Since butterflies live an average of 3 weeks some pass on before being released, which are acquired by Asana Natural Arts. All our species are approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Organization. Your purchase supports butterfly preservation and actually saves butterflies and their existence in the rain forest!
About 5% of butterfly eggs survive to adulthood in the wild, whereas this number jumps to 80% in farms.
