I have come to realize that I can literally stare at ferns for hours on end, which is something I feel like I have been doing since creating this last batch of framed plant compositions. I have them all set up in a row in my living room so I can admire them until they find new homes, and I keep catching myself pausing in mid-step to unconsciously stare at their beautiful contours.

And how about the frames on these ones too?! This thrift session scored some beautiful inlaid and hand crafted wood frames, as well as this super svelte (and surprisingly sturdy!) glass and metal minimalist design.

I’m so psyched to be making these for another upcoming three day music festival! There is truly nothing like spending a long weekend camping, dancing, and meeting other creative and adventurous folks. I feel so grateful to be able to share my art in such a fun and exuberant setting with people that seem so interested in learning about my processes and inspiration.

This festival should be an especially enlightening one since it’s a solar powered event focusing heavily on sustainability and making responsible energy use decisions for the future. I know I’m looking forward to learning some new things, and being among a conscientious and nature-loving crowd.

So if you’re in the Tennessee area, consider coming out to Get Off the Grid Fest in Chattanooga August 20-22 and come find my booth to say hi! Tickets are super reasonably priced and the line-up looks great. Here’s all the info. See you there!
