Original Cyanotype on Paper 22 x 30"

This cyanotype artwork captures the delicate intricacy of fern fronds layered across the piece, with their finely detailed leaves spreading in a graceful pattern. Scattered star-shaped flowers add a touch of whimsy, creating a subtle contrast against the bold blues of the background. In the lower corner, a single maple leaf quietly adds depth, balancing the composition. The rich navy blue background enhances the soft, lighter tones of the ferns and flowers, evoking a sense of calm and serenity.

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.
