I’m inspired by the ingenuity that Mother Nature has to offer and the idea that individual elements can be preserved and remembered.
My name is Janie and I currently live in Bend, Oregon and work out of a studio room in my house. I have a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Painting. After college I was seeking a hands-on and creative outlet, and I found myself in the world of floral design. This path granted me access to an abundance of captivating flowers and greenery. It was during this time I had a simple idea of preserving nature's beauty by pressing the floral, but wasn’t sure what to do with the end product. A few years ago I discovered epoxy resin and initially I used it with my paintings as a layering technique, but over time I began to experiment with the pressed floral I had collected. The resin presented an incredible way to preserve the natural allure of floral and greenery. This process is a way for me to express my deep-rooted love for nature while engaging with my creativity. I’m truly thrilled that you’ve come to visit my online shop and for taking the time to explore the outcome of my years-long experimentation. If you have any custom ideas in mind, please reach out!
