An exceptional limited edition print titled "Fruits of the Manatee," created by noted Florida artist Irene Hardwicke Olivieri, pencil signed, dated 2002, and numbered 2/45 from an edition of only forty-five impressions. The composition is a remarkable celebration of Florida's unique coastal ecology and artistic imagination. A reclining female figure emerges from an intricate tapestry of native shells, marine life, reptiles, botanical forms, and aquatic imagery, seamlessly interwoven into a richly symbolic composition. Every section of the figure rewards close examination, revealing extraordinary detail and visual storytelling. Olivieri's highly distinctive style blends elements of realism, fantasy, and environmental symbolism into an imaginative work that reflects her longstanding fascination with Florida's natural beauty and fragile ecosystems. The result is both visually captivating and deeply evocative. This example is professionally presented in an elegant dark wood frame with a linen fabric mat that beautifully complements the artwork while providing a refined gallery presentation. A Charles Michael Gallery label remains on the reverse, documenting its gallery provenance. Signed in pencil lower right, dated 2002, and titled and numbered in pencil lower left: "Fruits of the Manatee" Edition 2/45 Professionally framed and ready to hang, this is an outstanding example of the artist's work and an exceptional addition to collections of Florida art, contemporary printmaking, or nature-inspired fine art.
