About The Artwork

Part of my Cocoa Collection, this botanical bas relief tile artwork is created using my garden flowers and a hand painted Magenta Luna Moth that has texture you can see and feel. Many hours of painting time go into the Moth building both texture and layers of paint. The wings, body and legs of this insect have gold metallic paint accents to add shimmer to this piece. I have used Gomphrena Flowers, Angelonia, Helichrysum (White Licorice) and decorative metal findings to create this casting. This sculptural wall artwork is made from a very hard stone like plaster and has been finished with a matte sealant. As always, this flower fossil is one of a kind. No copies made, Enjoy!! The artwork comes with a nail slot in the back that will accommodate 2 or 3 small nails. **Please Note** - This piece of artwork is meant to be hung or displayed indoors. As these pieces are not kiln fired ceramics, they cannot be used in showers or as kitchen back splashes. To clean, use a feather duster or soft damp cloth. All the botanical bas relief pieces I create are made one at a time, by me, all by hand. For this reason, please understand that sizes and shapes will vary slightly. Each is unique and one of a kind.

I'm an avid gardener and also a nature artist. My love of gardening has always fueled my desire to create and vise versa. When creating relief artwork, I love the connection that I have to nature and the plants and flowers that I am using. Growing, cutting and preparing the flowers for the relief process right through to casting, painting and finishing each piece, brings me great happiness. The process of botanical bas relief has many steps and starts with real flowers that are arranged and pressed into clay that has been rolled flat. The clay is used to create a mold and plaster is poured into that mold to create the beautiful relief design you see. Removing the artwork from the mold, the piece is left to dry for a week. When dry, the plaster becomes white in color. The relief work is then sanded and sprayed with a matte varnish. Each piece of art is hand painted by me, using professional acrylic or watercolor paints to create a beautiful work of art, while other pieces are left unpainted to focus on the natural color of the plaster. For inside display only. I hope you will enjoy my artwork.
