Make Inks + Art with Plants! - Spend an inspiring afternoon in my home studio learning to create custom inks and a painting from locally foraged plants.
We’ll dive into the art of extracting botanical color, explore how pH affects hue, and use our inks to bring a personal artwork to life.

Over the past year, I have been working on a new body of work called, Language of the Land. I am thrilled to be showing some of this work alongside three other local artists Samantha Cortese, Mary Mastren Williams, and Emily Rice Taylor during the Raw Form exhibit from March 22nd to April 6th at Atithi Gallery.

Language of the Land uses color I collected and created from plants situated in the riparian zones along the Pittsburgh rivers, and is inspired by the following questions: How might an imagined language created with colors from plants in marginal places deepen our relationship with the land? What can we learn from the features that make these plants resilient and thrive in spaces characterized by constant change? What messages does the land have for you?

Learn more and celebrate with me next Saturday!
