Long bean pods (the hair)
Bean pods twist as they dry so they can spring open and fling their seeds surprisingly far.
Beans and pods symbolize growth, abundance and potential.

Materials & framing
Printed and framed to order, ready to hang when it arrives. Printed on premium luster paper with rich color and fine detail, protected behind a clear acrylic front, and set in a solid wood frame: White (gallery white), Black (matte black) or Red Oak (warm wood).
Printed to order on thick matte paper, shipped rolled for your own frame. We use 189 gsm (10.3 mil) matte paper with a smooth, glare-free finish and archival inks. It ships rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube, may hold a slight curl, and flattens overnight under a book. It fits any standard frame of that size. Prefer it framed? Choose Framed above for a solid wood frame in White, Black or Red Oak.
Size & fit
Available in 8″×10″ and 16″×20″.
Hanging hardware is included. These measurements refer to the print size. The wood frame adds about 0.75″ on each side, so the framed piece is roughly 1.5″ wider and taller than the print.
For unframed prints, the selected size is the paper size and fits a standard frame of that size. A frame adds about 1 inch on each side.
The Story Behind the Artwork
“Every leaf, twig, petal, and seed becomes a brushstroke.”
This is one of the first portraits I ever created. In those days I would discover my figures among the plants, gathering whatever I found around the trees and carrying the treasures home until the idea came alive inside me. I have always been fascinated by the large pods that hang from trees, and the Golden Shower Tree carries some of the most striking ones.
Around that time I met a woman from my studies who had beautiful dreadlocks. The tree and the woman met in my imagination, and this creation was born. She still feels grounded and strong to me, and that is what she offers a home.

The Botanicals Behind the Artwork
7 real botanicals composed the original artwork
Shirley arranged each leaf, pod, stem, and natural fiber by hand before photographing the finished composition.
Dark purple bean pods (possibly hyacinth bean)
Hyacinth bean vines wear such glossy purple pods that gardeners grow them just for the show.
Purple pods echo dignity and quiet richness.
Golden shower tree leaves (Cassia fistula)
A rolled leaf is nature's origami, often how new leaves stay tucked and protected before they unfurl.
Green leaves stand for renewal and hope.
Small pine cone
Pine cones open and close with the weather, spreading their seeds only on dry breezy days.
Pine cones symbolize enlightenment, fertility and lasting life.
Sausage tree flower (Kigelia), dried
Some deep-red star flowers skip perfume for a whiff of decay to pull in flies as pollinators.
Deep red blooms carry passion and deep emotion.
Trumpet tree seed pods (Tabebuia)
Trumpet tree pods are long and slender, and when they split open, papery winged seeds flutter away on the wind.
These pods signify secret love and resilience.
Bougainvillea petal (the lips)
A petal's velvety feel comes from cone-shaped surface cells that also make the color glow richer.
Red petals traditionally mean love and desire.
