Original Cyanotype on Paper 22 x 30"

This cyanotype captures an enchanting interplay of natural shapes and flowing lines. Oak and maple leaves cascade gently, interspersed with delicate fern fronds and star-like shapes, creating a visual rhythm that feels both organic and fluid. Curving, wave-like bands sweep through the piece, adding a dynamic movement reminiscent of gentle streams or breezes weaving through a forest. The deep blue background contrasts with the soft whites and subtle textures, inviting a sense of calm and wonder, as if observing leaves floating gracefully down a winding river or caught in a peaceful drift.

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.
