This is part of a small collection of botanically-inspired prints featuring flora found in my Carolinian region. These are inspired by slow-wanderings by the river and in forests and fields. They are little impressions that showcase the beauty of nature in decay. Painting has been a soothing practice for me this fall as we’ve been heading into the dark winter months. I hope these prints will bring you peace and remind you of the importance of the natural world. For me, they are a reminder to cherish our natural ecosystems and wild spaces.

“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.”

I believe that it is important to introduce children to the natural world, and cultivate a love for it. Outdoor education is a huge part in helping the next generation respect and care for the earth. With the intention of introducing children to the natural world, I will be donating $5 with each purchase of a print to the Guelph Outdoor School in order to support their Village Hearth Community School. This is an initiative that strives to dissolve barriers between kids of colour and natural and wild places by creating scholarships spots in outdoor school programming.
