Watercolour on repurposed cotton canvas

Naturally occurring tannins in plants and trees are an industrial resource for tanning leather and of natural dyes. My artwork harnesses this natural pigment for colour and pattern using leaves & repurposed textiles to create prints, then paintings, about the healing power of nature. This piece features the English Walnut and historically charged Logwood dye of my Caribbean ancestry. Establishing a creative connection to these remaining accessible wilder spaces is paramount to my process and humanity’s overall well-being.
