I create layered prints inspired by nature and found materials, blending control and chance to reflect beauty in overlooked details and quiet moments.

I started with mounting arches cold press paper on 12 x 12 vinyl records to give it a sturdy base.

I etched the bees into a plexiglass plate and printed them on Japanese paper.

Monotype print:
Use Akua Green Oxide ink, GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylics - Green Gold, and with a coffee (yes coffee).

I layered the printed bees and assorted Japanese papers over the background.
