When The Iris was chosen as Tennessee's State Flower, our founders must have been moved by its grand, graceful petals and many dimensions of beauty.

Artist Stephanie Brichetto has captured the Iris in all stages of life. as the flower is blooming, while in its full glory, and as it is withering away. her artistic interpretation of this lifecycle is both accurate and inspiring.

Brichetto's use of color spans the spectrum from pastel pinks and greens to deep burgundy and forest shades. Degrees of blue intermingle with the dark background to dramatically showcase the Iris's depth.

"Pink Illusion" is the twenty-first limited edition print in what is our region's oldest and most prestigious annual print series. Only 800 reproductions will be inspected, numbered, and signed by the artist. The very finest papers and inks are used to create a reproduction as true to the original as possible.

Take this exquisite flower into your home or office and have a constant reminder of our state's rich history and life's beautiful twists and turns.
