Original Works

Welcome to my Original Art Work Gallery. Each piece is made out of real plant material and sealed using my special process. To ensure the quality and the preservation of my work, these originals are only available framed. Since each design is created using natural materials, each one is unique and once it is sold it will be removed from the website. Although no piece of art can be identically reproduced, I can recreate the general feel of the design of a previous work. All originals are signed and dated by me.
Commissioned works are available upon request.

NOTE: Keep in mind, that internet imagery does not depict the vivid color and clarity of the actual art work.
