There’s a garden on our property and we just let the wildness in. That wildness has inspired me over the years and some of the works shown here were made with the thought in mind of designing a seed packet. I still like the idea, so every spring I’m motivated to do more work like this.

These illustrations are grouped together because each one shares with the next a common, ‘free-floating’ theme. Anything that’s off the ground lands in this category. The works are all made the same way; dx Martin watercolor on cold-press paper, and nearly every one was made to accompany a short story or an essay.
