About My Work
All of my artwork is created using natural plant materials, such as pressed flowers, ferns, bark, leaves, herbs and sometimes even insects. Some of my wall art includes painting and other techniques to enhance the feeling of the creation. After completion, the artwork is preserved using a special process that I have developed through years of trial and error. I started developing my process in the early 90s when I became obsessed with the idea of preserving nature. After ten years of owning a custom picture framing business I decided to close it to pursue my new passion.
Each piece of original artwork is permanently sealed before I frame it. This way the plant material will never deteriorate. I do all of the matting and framing of my artwork using acid free backgrounds for all of my designs, as well as the highest quality materials available. My only recommendation is to not hang them in direct sun light or where there will be extreme temperature changes.
I grow most of the plant material used in my artwork and some are collected from our 10 acres of woods. Each piece is unique. And each original piece is signed and dated by me. As you can see… My artwork is a labor of love and an extension of myself.
Sincerely, Haley J
