Inspired by coral specimens in the Natural History Museum Vienna. These 18th century collections, showcase the intricate beauty and diversity of coral forms. The deep blues of the prints evoke the ocean's depths.

Layering Pittsburgh’s past and present—botanicals from Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, and Point Breeze meet the city’s industrial history through cyanotype and collage. Honoring what was, and what still grows. 💙🌿

Two days of sunshine in a row, I’ll take it! Today I printed these coral specimens from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien and started working on the 30” x 30” layout in the studio. Excited to see this piece come together! 💙☀️

New cyanotype work fresh from the studio! 💙 I’ve been experimenting with multiple exposures—layering imagery to explore depth, texture, and time in a single print. Excited about where this process is leading! ✨

Four cyanotype pillows, each one unique! 💙✨ I only learned to sew in the past year, and it’s been incredible to bring my prints to life. 🌿🧵

My favorite from today’s session! ✨ A botanical print layered over an old cyanotype with collaged negatives—blending past and present in a single composition. Loving the depth and texture that emerges in this process! 💙🌿

The magic of wet cyanotype! ✨ This botanical print on silk chemise is fresh from exposure—still in its golden-orange, brown, and deep blue phase before the final wash. I love this fleeting moment before the transformation is complete! 💙🌿
