Artist’s Statement
My garden is my sanctuary. Like all gardens, it changes with the seasons. Capturing the spirit of leaves and flowers with eco-printing allows me to create snapshots of what I grow and to preserve the soul of my garden in that point in time. This botanical print process has become my therapy; I find it calms me, slows me down, and grounds me in the present. As a plant scientist by training, eco-printing is a great fit for me in retirement because there is much science involved with the botanical printing process. I’m constantly learning and experimenting with different techniques and plants.
In the end, I’m just a girl who loves plant science, loves to be outside, and loves to grow things. I’m so glad that I’ve found a way to capture lasting impressions of the things I grow.
