I am truly led by nature's grace, elegance and above all resilience. It withstands the irreverent acts of mankind and still rebounds refusing to concede. I was initially drawn to the technique because I could continue my love of monotype printmaking with a very low negative impact on the planet. Mother nature has taught me much over the years such as the impact of extreme weather, her growth cycles, and above all her strength. I have even witnesses the deterioration of trees overcome with disease while foraging, or how smoke affects plant life. I have learned so much and continue to with each scarf that I create.
