Original Cyanotype on Paper 22 x 30"

This cyanotype showcases the detailed beauty of ferns, with their fronds unfurling gracefully across the composition, creating an almost layered forest effect. Smaller details, like maple and ginkgo leaves and delicate star-shaped plants, are scattered throughout, adding playful variety. Set against a deep, calming blue background, the lighter-toned leaves seem to glow gently, as if lit by soft moonlight. This piece conveys a peaceful, woodland ambiance, inviting a quiet moment of reflection and connection to the natural world.

This piece is signed horizontally, so if you prefer the signature at the bottom, a horizontal frame would be ideal. However, if you choose to frame it vertically with the signature along the side, it won’t affect the integrity of the piece. The most important thing is to focus on how the artwork will look in your space, rather than aligning with the direction of the signature. Let the artwork’s placement complement your environment.

Each cyanotype is a one-of-a-kind original, crafted from leaves I've gathered from around the world, making each piece like a journal of my travels. Made on watercolor paper, each artwork has my signature on the front and back. The cyanotype process involves soaking the paper in water, sometimes multiple times, which can create small tears. I've reinforced these spots with tape when needed, though they won’t show once framed. This process uses sunlight to create natural shapes in rich blue tones, giving each piece its own unique character.
