Recent Works

Below are a few recent mixed media pieces and other things I have around my home. All are made with hand pressed/dried plant material and found materials. I apologize for Iphone quality photos



LEFT: Bamboo base with dried herbs, grasses, driftwood, and leather cord. Species include Bouteloua curtipendula (side-oats), Liatris cylindracea (Ontario Blazing Star), and Phlox pilosa from Wisconsin, and Castilleja applegatei (Applegate's Indian Paintbrush) from California.





BELOW: Shadowbox covered with clippings from Pennsylvania Farmer's Almanacs circa 1940's and 50's. Additions include dried jelly and shelf fungi, butterfly weed blossoms, dutchman's breeches, michigan lilies, and an old sample jar of grain infected with ergot. William Blake print in the background.
