Botanical Themes
I make cyanotype images of different plants from different places in different seasons according to their availability. Each photogram is a large original that I cut into small pieces during my process, and when an original is used, it's gone until I make another of the same plant. Some are very limited in availability.
Please check the blog for photos of the process and information about my most recent photograms.

Desert Arboretum
This theme features some of the toughest, most iconic flora of the Southwest: the mesquite tree, the green-barked palo verde, and the source of the unforgettable scent of desert rain, the creosote.

Desert wildflowers
Equal parts beautiful and hardy, these tough little wildflowers common to Tucson make beautiful cyanotypes. Examples include Desert Globe Mallow, Desert Marigold, and Arizona poppy.
Garden herbs
This collection is made from some of the most beloved herbs of the backyard and kitchen garden, such as rosemary, and thyme. The current working image also includes carrot greens and wild mustard. I'll be adding to it as the spring, and my own garden, progress.
