Original Cyanotype on Paper 15 x 22"

This cyanotype centers on a large tropical leaf, painted in gold, that glows against the deep blue background like a ray of sunshine. The golden leaf adds warmth and focus, while delicate ferns and smaller leaves provide texture and depth. The contrast between the vibrant gold and calming blue evokes a sense of sunlight filtering through tropical foliage, capturing a moment of serene 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.
