Convolvulus arvensis (Field Bindweed), 2024
watercolour on paper, 20” x 14”

Convolvulus arvensis has a long history as a medicinal plant. It was likely first introduced to North America as a contaminant in farm seeds but records show that in the early 19th century, seeds became available to colonists as ornamentals and medicinal herbs via mail order catalogues.
