Original Cyanotype on Paper 22 x 30"

This piece highlights a dark, rich background that beautifully contrasts with the tree of life, which appears in a stunning light blue shade, almost glowing against the darkness. Adorned with a variety of leaves—oak, ginkgo, maple, and cottonwood—the tree represents diversity and resilience within nature’s cycles. The flowing lines resemble soft water currents, adding depth and a gentle sense of movement. The dark tones enhance the light blue of the tree, making it a captivating focal point that symbolizes growth and the interconnected beauty of life.

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.
