Somnabula Pansy, 2018. There is a purity to the whiteness. Pansy juice was used in MIDSOMMER NIGHT'S DREAM by W. Shakespeare to induce sleep. Hence the name.
Green Puff Dianthus, 2017. I was greatly attracted to the fuzzy, fluffy petals of this flower. It is quite striking in arrangements as well as on the wall.

Pugfaced Petunia. 2017. Archival Print.
I like the pushed in quality to the face of this flower, rather like the bull dog types of dogs. I was attracted to the unique visage of this particular flower.

Wabi Sabi Series:
I found a sense of serenity in transience exploring the beauty of fading leaves and flowers. The Japanese concept of Wabi Sabi influenced this work. I scanned on a flatbed scanner the botanical pieces carefully choosing the moment when they had a sort of translucence and quietness; when they no longer had a sort of flaming beauty, but that of depth and mystery. Some still have a sort of insistence such as the poplar leaf, but others draw you in to them.
The Wabi Sabi series is presented as an archival print (pigment inkjet on William Turner Hahnemuhle paper)
