Original Cyanotype on Paper 15 x 22"

This cyanotype celebrates the natural symmetry and elegance of a pine tree created with intricate fern fronds. The layers of ferns radiate outward, forming a shape reminiscent of a stately pine, reaching skyward. Surrounding the pine are delicate star-shaped blossoms, symbolizing stars that dot the sky and evoke a sense of serenity. The backdrop is a deep, calming blue, enhancing the contrast of the fern's detailed textures and imbuing the image with a tranquil, grounding energy.

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.
