Original Cyanotype on Paper 22 x 30"

This cyanotype features a striking composition of natural forms. At the center is a large, hand-painted gold tropical leaf that stands out against the deep blue background, bringing warmth and contrast to the piece. Above, slender palm fronds fan out like rays of sunlight, creating a structured yet organic feel. Scattered around are various smaller leaves and star-shaped flora, adding a touch of whimsy to the arrangement. The combination of gold and blue tones, with delicate and bold shapes, evokes a vibrant tropical atmosphere, capturing the beauty of nature’s diversity.

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.
