Botanical Blues: Eco-explorations with cyanotype prints

 


I am so excited to share I'll be showing a collection of my art at Wayside Books in Osoyoos in March 2026. The opening will be on March 6, from 4-7 pm during the First Friday celebration of the arts in Osoyoos. I'll also be selling my book, the revised edition of Victory Gardens for Bees, photo cards and "menditation" hearts. I hope to see you at the opening!


As a self-confessed “bee nerd” and advocate for protecting native bees, I have a deep love of the plants that provide pollinators with food and nesting resources. In recent years, I have been exploring the art of creating cyanotypes (aka “sun prints”) that reveal the delicate outlines and textures of pressed plant specimens. As an eco-feminist, I am also passionate about using materials collected at thrift shops to recycle and turn into textile art. You might even find something you donated to a local shop made into something new and funky.
