Glowing Hummer

Mixed media on canvas.

20x20"

I am and have always been drawn to flowers, trees, plants and the entire botanical world of wonder. Even as an inner city resident, here in Vancouver I am surrounded by an abundant tree canopy and vibrant urban botanical life to collect and forage from. Access to wild places to walk and forest bath in is a privilege that I am forever grateful for and celebrate in my artwork through the alchemical magic of Botanical contact printing (eco-print) wherein I transfer the actual pigments within the plant material into paper or fabric, extract dye from bark, leaves, lichen and fungi and get to use them as my art supplies and inspiration.
