Cherry red, hand-painted in layers on white Xuan paper from my homeland. Each petal was intentionally painted, laminated, wrinkled, shaped, formed, and hand-cut. There is no duplicate use of a single template — every petal is individual and treated as its own piece of art, forming the signature red ring pattern of these red-and-white Jerusalem anemone flowers. My art practice is a slow meditation on beauty and life.

Strawberry Waterfall. This is one of those pieces I had meant to finish but somehow after sticking it into a vase it seems to be complete as it is. Maybe that’s a metaphor for life?

Something new is blooming 🌱 I am releasing a video class teaching how to make a paper mini monstera — inspired by Japanese kokedama, where the roots nestle into a ball of soil and moss instead of a pot.
In the class I walk through building the whole piece with crepe paper and craft supplies: leaves, stems, faux soil, moss, even the roots. Bonus — these techniques transfer beautifully to other paper plants & flowers, so it’s a great one to add to your repertoire.
