My work draws from nature’s textures and found materials, layering color and surface to uncover beauty shaped by time, touch, and place.

I made this solarplate print of an Atlantic sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) using a mix of digital and hands-on techniques.

After adjusting the image in Photoshop, I exposed it to sunlight on a PETG plate, timing it just right depending on the weather. After printing, I added soft color with watercolor pencils to bring out its subtle, stinging beauty.
