EXPERIMENTS IN JOY & WONDER
|
|
Photography has been a love of mine for so much of my life. I have always held a curiosity and fascination around alternative process techniques. Creating cyanotypes has held a role of joyful permission with engaging what I'm drawn to creating. I see printing possibilities everywhere I go. I have completely fallen in love with this process. The surprises with every exposure, the variations with the angle of the sun and the state of the various plants I harvest, my relationship with the plants and where they’re from, the gorgeous blue that magically appears when water meets the surface of whatever material I’ve used to make the print on. All of it always excites me.
Cyanotype is an old photographic process that produces a distinctive cyan-blue print. It works by using a combination of light-sensitive iron salts on a surface, which react to UV light and turn a Prussian blue color when washed with water.
Every print is 100% unique and cannot be recreated exactly as it is because the sun and the plants are always changing. Even when working with negatives to make a print, there are always variations to how the image translates. Each print is its own celebration of telling a story through nature, while they are tributes to joy and wonder.
I'm currently creating a body of cyanotype work that will be featured in a show I’ll be in with a fellow art therapist. The show will be on display from January 2027-early April 2027, at the library in Lyons, CO.
I’ve also greatly enjoyed making wearable and usable art, which is what I've focused most of my cyanotype work on. From t-shirts and sweatshirts, pants and jackets, throw pillows, and pouches that are perfect for holding so many things, there are so many ways to infuse daily living with art!

If there is something you see here that you love, I can do my best to create something similar for you, but no two cyanotypes are ever exactly the same.
