A little about Botanical Eco Printing:
The printed images and color in the process of botanical eco printing are created from natural plant pigments of the Earth. This ancient method of working with plants has produced color long before synthetic dyes were created.
The magic of Nature held within the leaves and flowers is revealed through the eco printing process. Each contributes its unique pigments, enzymes, acids, tannins, and other natural chemicals in a complex alchemy.
As part of the dying process the paper or fiber is prepared with natural minerals to receive the plants magic. “Bundles” are created by layering the plants with paper or fiber. These bundles are then exposed to heat which releases the plant’s colors and textures. The results are many and varied depending on the combination of plants, minerals, and heat.
At the completion of an extensive process, it’s exciting when the time comes to unwrap the bundles revealing these one-of-a-kind imprints from Nature.
About my original art pieces:
Inspired by the dance between the Earth and Sky each of these botanical eco prints have been enhanced with pearlescent watercolors, symbolic of the beauty and shimmer of the Stars.
May these pieces speak to those of us who walk the Earth in reverence and expand our souls by connecting to the Stars.
Each original art piece is a one-of-a-kind, created in collaboration between the artist and Nature.
Printed on watercolor paper. Mounted on birch wood panels in various sizes.
