Original Cyanotype on Paper 15 x 22"

This cyanotype is a double exposure, adding depth to the piece. Large leaves like monstera and palm fronds overlap with delicate ferns and small star-shaped plants, set against a background that shifts from light azure to deep indigo. In the second exposure, I hand-painted wave patterns, creating a flowing effect that gives the piece a calm, tropical feel.

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.
