On my daily walks with the dogs, I collect fallen leaves and flowers from my surroundings.

Back in the studio, I use these materials to create eco-prints—recording their forms, colours and 

natural imperfections on paper.

These prints become starting points for introspection and reflection. By spending time 

with each image, I consider my environment, my circumstances and the passing of 

time. This process often results in an illuminated eco-print or artist book, enriched with 

words, symbols or additional details. At other times, an image or idea develops into a 

creative jewel, translated into metal – on its way to being worn.

At a time when everyday life is increasingly hurried and dominated by technology, this 

work encourages us to pause, observe and reconnect with the natural world. It shows 

how ordinary activities—walking, gathering and noticing seasonal change—can 

become sources of creativity and meaning. By transforming familiar and often 

overlooked materials, I hope to encourage reflection on our shared experiences of 

place, memory, change and time.
