The actual act of creating each original piece, for  this artist, is therapeutic, spending lots of time outside walking and foraging, truly in the moment, her eyes scanning every square inch of my surroundings. After finish the piece, she document it with a photograph, being very careful not to bump the table and Mother Nature’s house of cards.
