Ecoprints and Mixed Media Artwork
I've always been an artist but it turns out I had to take my own best life coaching advice to admit it. Artists are people who have an unending and relentless drive to create things. We are compulsive in our daily quest to form our outer world to match our inner world.
I have a bachelors degree in Art History and Latin American Studies, a Masters degree in Holistic Nutrition, and a lot of pieces of paper stating I'm good at one thing or another.
Eco-printing is a technique where plants, leaves and flowers leave their shapes, color, and marks on fabric or paper.
Plant material is bundled inside of papers and then steamed or boiled for an hour or more to release the dyes and tannins found naturally inside the plant, creating a contact print in the shape of the leaf or flower used.

Plant material is bundled inside of papers and then steamed or boiled for an hour or more to release the dyes and tannins found naturally inside the plant, creating a contact print in the shape of the leaf or flower used. I sometimes roll these papers around rusty cans which causes the iron and copper to oxidize the organic material and produce darker colors.
This is why every piece I make is
One-Of-A-Kind…
Just like you, every single plant and leaf is different and the combinations I use are different every time.
Who am I? My art keeps me grounded in my self, because any mother knows it is easy to lose one's self in the daily minutia of parenting. We get up early, we take naps, and we explore. Who am I and where do I fit in the world? As children we all try to figure it out as fast as we can, and as adults we still try to figure it out. Only slower. Because of the baggage from our childhood :)
