After picking and pressing the flowers, I create the design, photograph or scan it and prepare the photo on the computer for printing. This elaborate procedure (about 50 hours per picture) allows me to make intricate designs that will retain their form and color long after the original flowers have faded and crumbled to dust.

I hope that viewing the beautiful perfection of nature in these flowers (which are often “just weeds”) will awaken in you feelings of joy and awe. It is not only wonderful to take time to smell the flowers, but also to look closely at these miracles of nature!
