NEW! Aleta is launching the all-Canadian memory game of "NatureMatch" with 36 of her watercolour portraits of wildlife.

Fragile Inheritance 2025 Calendar

$25.00

Aleta Karstad's 2025 Calendar features illustrations and text from the as yet unpublished book "Fragile Inheritance, a painter's ecology of glaciated North America," co-authored by Aleta and her biologist husband Frederick W. Schueler. The calendar is standard size, spiral-bound, printed on high quality smooth paper, splendidly presenting the glowing colour and crisp detail of Aleta's watercolours. The spacious calendar squares are marked with Canadian holidays and notes from Fred & Aleta's seasonal observations across several decades.
