Nature Prints
I am a member of the Nature Printing Sociey, an
international organization. After attending several
annual conferences, I began using natural forms even
more frequently in my work. I have always been
interested in the natural world and it has
continually informed all of my art making. En route
to the Nature Printing Society conference in North
Carolina, we stopped In Tennessee at Sycamore Shoals.
I was shown a beloved sycamore tree that had grown
from a seed that a local astronaut had taken to the
moon. I figured the leaves I gathered from that tree
were probably as close to the moon as I would ever
get. Those leaves and that story inspired many of my
prints that incorporate sycamore leaves.
