The Woman Who Chased Butterflies: Maria Sibylla Merian: A Life of Art and Science

By Michael Webster

Imagine leaving everything you know to follow your passion.

For Maria Sibylla Merian, that's exactly what she did. Defying the expectations of her time, this self-taught artist and mother embarked on a perilous, self-funded journey to a distant land. She wasn't just chasing butterflies; she was chasing a truth that the world hadn't yet grasped.

This is the story of a remarkable woman who used her art to show the profound beauty and interconnectedness of life. It is a tale of courage, independence, and the enduring power of a single individual to change science forever.
