About: Delight someone with a limited edition print of my Gouache painting “Carrousel” and a fused glass paperweight, with one of the menagerie animals, which can be personalized. It’s important to raise one another’s spirit.
About: Nature inspires me to create sculptures from wisteria vines. While I have some idea of what I’d like to create, the tangle of vines guides me and I allow each form to emerge. My pieces honor how the often overlooked can become objects of unusual beauty. For more information DM me via Instagram or @botanica_bonanza or text: 510-725-5188
