"White Mulberry". This small tree is native to China, where it is used to feed silkworms. Its edible berries are relished by birds, and it has escaped cultivation to spring up in the types of weedy, neglected areas I find so interesting. I am also delighted by the way there are three differently shaped leaves all growing simultaneously. Heliographic print on cotton, artist-painted and commercial fabrics, machine stitching. Size: 51" x 52". For Sale: $5,500.

"Reed Run". This work is from a memory of a fall hike in the woods along a lovely small stream. The featured leaves are from a pawpaw tree, which grows near water and produces the largest edible fruit native to America. Cyanotype on silk, heliographic print on silk, cotton, silk and wool fabrics, hand embroidery, machine stitching, hand beading. Size: 50" x 32". For Sale: $3,200.

"Prickly Sow Thistle". I am frequently drawn to take a closer look at plants that are classified as common weeds. Prickly Sow Thistle is indeed quite prickly, but it is also a colonizer on disturbed ground, helping to prevent soil runoff, and the seeds are a favorite of finches. Cyanotypes on cotton, heliographic print on cotton, artist-painted and commercial fabric, machine stitching. Size: 50" x 43". For Sale: $4,400.
