I believe that curiosity and creativity are key to critical thinking. By using plants, upcycled, and unexpected materials, I hope to encourage people to rethink their assumptions and expectations, stimulating the curiosity that leads us all to a healthy questioning of ourselves and the status quo.

Throughout the phases of our lives, we reassess our satisfaction with our work, our relationships, our purpose and our very idea of what success means. And we redefine our paths accordingly.
This piece has also been redefined. Originally, a single sheet of handmade paper from tulip stems stood as the background to twigs, twined together and stitched onto the paper. In its new iteration, I've collaged additional handmade paper made from various plant fibers including Mullein, Day Lillie, and a large, vertical path made from Poke Weed.
Mounted on cradled board and ready to hang. 14 X 11
