About the Artist

Being a forever admirer of nature and all it supplies us with, it is no surprise that I was led to work with pressed botanicals as my medium.  Flower petals, stems, leaves, grasses even some vegetables make their way into my presses to yield one surprise after the other.  I work these amazing colors, shapes and textures into mixed media collages where paints (acrylic or watercolor) and hand printed papers are used to accent the organic beauty.  My hope is that these works allow you to experience nature in a new way as well as opening up to the use of botanical materials as an art medium.  My artwork is created in  my Vermont studio and incorporates the flora and reflects the landscapes of New England, the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic.  I cannot over stress the relaxation and peace that is achieved while working with organic materials.
