natural ink paintings
painting with nature
The following works have been created using alternative natural inks made in my home kitchen and foraged from plants and fungi found across Cape Cod and the Islands.
Natural inks are living breathing art. With eco-conscious creation at the forefront, natural inks are derived through sustainable practices. They lack toxins and preservatives of contemporary art materials on the market and may change overtime much like we do.
