I am an artist experimenting in clay and fiber. I have intense love for the passive presence of plants, precisely folding paper, vibing to unusual musics, and exploring the history of world art.

I l o v e this #fiddlehead on my new baby #australiantreefern . Got the humidifiers on full blast to keep them happy. Any tips on care from experienced Australian tree fern parents would be appreciated. Sited in a south facing room, with rainforest like humidity 😁

There are so many flowering shade perennials and tons of gorgeous foliage plants that would work. Virginia bluebells, astilbe, woodland phlox, columbine, anemone, coral bells, showy hostas……

Forced myself to sit down at this piece again. Here is a detail shot of the section I’m working on tonight. Loving gellyroll’s expanded palette in the moonlight line. I’m liking how this is turning out even though I approach certain bits with trepidation.

Happy early spring equinox everyone! I’m working on some paper daffodils for my dad’s birthday. Trying to pull myself out of the slog of depression that has reared its ugly head since it took office. Making pretty flowers requires looking at scientific illustrations, which I enjoy too

Starting a new origami tessellation on this lovely 2’ by 3’ handmade paper. I haven’t done one of these in a while. Gets you to slow down take the time to be precise.
