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.
Available in 10″×10″ and 16″×16″.
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.
“Every leaf, twig, petal, and seed becomes a brushstroke.”
I create portraits using what I call nature's brushes. Every leaf, twig, petal, and seed becomes a brushstroke. I gather them on my walks, bring them home, and compose each artwork by hand, piece by piece, until a character appears.
Nothing is brushed on. Everything you see is a real fragment of the natural world, captured before it fades. When one of these prints hangs in your home, you are living with hundreds of small brushstrokes that nature made first and I simply arranged.

The original composition was made entirely from real botanicals.
The Botanicals Behind the Artwork
Shirley arranged each leaf, pod, stem, and natural fiber by hand before photographing the finished composition.
Big showy flowers spend real energy on petals, a bold advertisement to lure the strongest pollinators.
Red cotton tree flowers stand for boldness and generous vitality.
Nasturtium leaves are so water-repellent that raindrops bead up and roll right off them.
Nasturtiums stand for patriotism and playful conquest.
Bell-shaped flowers hang like little lanterns, sheltering their pollen from rain while ringing in the bees.
Bellflowers mean gratitude and everlasting love.
Bristly seed heads bristle for a reason, the stiff hairs help them cling to fur and drift on the wind.
Wild grasses suggest freedom and the open meadow.
Cotton fibers are almost pure cellulose, which is why they take up dye and soak up water so happily.
Cotton stands for comfort and homely warmth.
Violas can quietly seed themselves for years, popping up in surprise corners of a garden.
Violet blooms mean faithfulness and modest charm.
Geraniums bloom from spring all the way to first frost, among the longest-flowering plants in any garden.
Geraniums traditionally stand for comfort, good cheer, and friendship.
Leaves quietly breathe out the oxygen we rely on while they cook up sugar from sunlight.
Green leaves mean renewal and vitality.
