Never not making. My studio practice centers on paper botanical sculptures—an exercise in seeing just how far I can push that humble material. Each piece is hand-dyed and hand-cut, with many of the patterns created from flowers grown in my own garden.

I’m fascinated by the minutiae that make a flower feel like that flower: the wonky curve of a petal, the browning where a bug has bitten, the wee architecture hiding inside each bloom. I try to capture those details without making things feel too perfect, because perfect is boring.

The process is slow, tactile, and wonderfully analog. Creating each flower is part botanical study, part meditation, and 100% fun.
