California Poppy textile collage
I use fabric scraps and other (often reclaimed) materials to create vibrant original artwork inspired by botanical plates, portraiture, and the natural world.
I also translate my one-of-a-kind creations into frame-ready prints that faithfully translate the color, texture and pattern of the orginal artwork using conservation-grade paper and archival-quality ink.
Botanical portrait: California Poppy
My series of California Poppy portraits are homages to this tenacious and joyful wildflower.
The originals, based on the iconic CA Scenic Route sign, are rendered in reclaimed fabrics. The prints on fine art paper and on wood panels translate the textures and colors of the original textiles in vivid detail.
