Pick Nature

  • Massachusetts

    MA

Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

I make botanical art with plants I grow. I am a gardener-jeweler : I dry my flowers and cast them in resin to freeze nature in time. I love to forage too, especially for ferns and mushrooms or interesting pieces of bark.

I do not restrict myself to adorning people with nature, I also make various decorative objects with dried and stabilized plants (wreath, mirrors, frames, bouquets, wood and resin spoons).

Observing my surroundings allows me to recreate small landscapes that bring nature into our homes.

I won't ever hurt an insect or plant for my art. Butterflies were found on the ground and are simply given another opportunity to shine. When I pick a leaf or a bloom, I'm careful not to hurt the plant, and if it is a wild one, I do some research on its conservation status. I leave rare plants alone.
