With a bachelor's degree in Anthropology, a master’s degree in Horticulture, a 20-year career in natural and social science research and a European certification in homeopathy, my pursuit of the botanical arts serves as a bridge to continue to explore the way that humans use plants for food, fiber, medicine, art, decoration, beautification, purification, exploration, and healing. My botanical arts line began in 2006 with mixed media botanical collages and expanded into a line of art nouveau inspired pressed flower jewelry. In 2018, I took a deep dive into the world of ecoprinting — a sophisticated form of contact printing onto fiber with plants that’s comprised of equal parts art, science, and magic. I’ve had my work sold in over 100 shops, boutiques and galleries throughout North America, designed exclusive lines for catalogs and had my work and Downingtown, PA art studio published in magazines. Early in 2023, I opened Muse Artisan Boutique in Glenmoore, PA, where I exhibit and sell my full line of botanical arts as well as the work of over 40 local and 200 worldwide artists, makers and artisan-driven brands.
