Inspired by coral specimens in the Natural History Museum Vienna. These 18th century collections, showcase the intricate beauty and diversity of coral forms. The deep blues of the prints evoke the ocean's depths.

Two days of sunshine in a row, I’ll take it! Today I printed these coral specimens from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien and started working on the 30” x 30” layout in the studio. Excited to see this piece come together! πŸ’™β˜€οΈ

New cyanotype work fresh from the studio! πŸ’™ I’ve been experimenting with multiple exposuresβ€”layering imagery to explore depth, texture, and time in a single print. Excited about where this process is leading! ✨
