Just like the natural world, humans are analog in essence:  fluid, nuanced and ever-changing. Yet in contemporary life, we find ourselves increasingly immersed in binary, digital environments. 

 

Altered cyanotype ("sigh-an-oh-type") is a century-old analog photographic process in which I use sunlight to expose organic materials such as leaves and marine materials on UV-sensitized watercolor paper, linen and silk. These images evolve through multiple exposures and intricate hand-altering techniques to create luminous abstract art that evokes sky, water and wild botanicals - perfect for serene, design-forward interiors.

 

This historic photographic process and the rich variety found in leaves and light invite the poetry of nature into your home. My hope is that these artworks "painted with light" will reignite your sense of wonder at the abundance of amazing details found all around us in nature, help you to cherish your local ecosystem, and celebrate the vibrant experience of being fully human.
