She Hangs Brightly, Fine Art Print

This piece is a celebration of the magical and mysterious natural world and represents all of my love reflected back. There is wisdom in the woods, in the petal of a flower, and a forest is sleeping in every seed.

When creating the original piece, I first painted the background and made the moon scene. I then used real pressed flowers to create the garden of flowers and then embellished the swirls and twirls designs by hand. I drew the 4 gold paper moths and then cut them out of yupo paper, painted them gold and placed them in the scene. I used twine to make the swing upon which the vintage image of a woman swings peacefully over the night garden. The tree branch from which she hangs, is a real twig from a tree that provides a bounty of the most delicate and beautiful seed pods that I frequently use in my pieces. (Thank you sweet tree!) I then added the stars and spinning galaxies.

I hope that this magical scene entices you to relax and savor all the little intricate things that nature brings us. ⁣

The practice of creating artistic scenes with pressed flowers is known as Oshibana. Being a fan of Japanese culture and history, I find great joy in participating in this tradition. Originating in 16th century Japan, this art form entails arranging pressed flowers to form a composition.

I hope that this magical scene entices you to relax and savor all the little intricate things that nature brings us. ⁣
