I handpick wildflowers from the valleys, mountains, and along the highways , take them home and press them, then when
dry I lovingly apply them to vintage glass with a thin coating.
All my leaves and flowers are handpicked by myself. I enjoy the hiking and wandering and being alone in my own
private world with the deer and rabbits and bats and bugs that let me be part of their world.
I never buy my flowers and leaves from catalogs or use artificial flowers or feathers or papers as fill-ons
when I run low on a certain color. I just enlarge my search to incude the farmlands, alleyways, and vacant lots
near my home.
What many people see as weeds, I see as possible resources for my artform. Below you'll see some of the flowers I like
to collect and preserve to use.
