The monarch butterfly flutters through fields and flowers through the continental United States. Easily recognizable by the lattice of orange and black that decorates their wings, monarch butterflies have capture the imagination of generations. Chasing Monarchs depicts an idyllic summer picnic in a golden meadow, with babbling brook and whistling wind. As monarch butterflies rise on gusts that tickle the meadow grass, children run and play and all troubles melt into distant memory.
Chasing Monarchs was commissioned and premiered by Stephanie Carlson with Amy McCann Toeller on March 16, 2023 at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky, USA.
