“The Botanist’s Mural” draws inspiration from Vassar College’s herbarium, which dates back to the school’s founding in 1865. I incorporated 63 plants from the extensive collection of 15,000 specimens, including vascular plants, bryophytes, and algae housed in the Herbarium.

Fully snowy and crazy cold outside but at least I have all these warm colors and painted plants to keep me going.

Preparing for a two person show opening at Kenise Barnes Fine Art in Kent, CT on April 26. Save the date 🌿

Happy 2025 💙

I always unearth things while preparing for studio visits including this potential triptych I stashed away in the bottom of one of my flat file drawers at least a year or two ago.

Each work is 30” x 26” and combines Cyanotype, watercolor and gouache.
