The Swiss azo dyes inherent in this medium sang out like the petals of a flower. Since that day, I've worked for many years on the evolution of this project, searching for the spirit within myself and the plants, making sure each piece is as individual as a flower. In making these images available to the public I can communicate a celebration of nature, a celebration that seems to make the cycle of growth complete. It is important to note that these works are monoprints and cannot be replicated. Because there is no existing transparency of any piece, each one is unique.
Every print is the only image of a particular plant that once grew and flourished.
The images are a reminder and celebration of nature's most sacred gift. The farm was everything to me growing up. I didn't have any brothers or sisters and there was much work to do. My mom passed away when I was nine. My Dad raised me and did not want me to pursue art as a career, but I followed my heart and went in that direction anyway.
