While preparing for my exhibition in New York this summer, I received a commission for a wedding gift inspired by a living willow sculpture at Tangled Garden, where the couple were married.

The original sculpture is formed by willow trained around a circular metal structure, with two rings suspended in the centre. Working at a much smaller scale, I chose rosemary to suggest the willow and built up the form through repeated impressions directly onto cotton.

Rosemary felt particularly fitting, given its traditional associations with remembrance, love, and fidelity. The studio was filled with its scent as I pressed the plants, releasing their natural oils.

The finished piece measures 30 × 40 inches and features a rod pocket at the top for hanging.

A lovely surprise upon returning home from New York and North Carolina.

A few days after settling back into my studio, I received a message from a close friend in Montreal with a screenshot of my artwork appearing in the new Netflix series 'Below'.

In 2025, Teichert Gallery in Halifax, which represents my work, contacted me about a production being filmed in Newfoundland. They were looking for artwork featuring squid.

As it happened, I had created several gyotaku prints of local squid in 2022, following a night of fishing in Argyle, Nova Scotia.

'Below' is a supernatural thriller set in a Newfoundland fishing community, where a mysterious sea creature threatens the town and its way of life.

My squid prints found their way onto the walls of the research vessel in this series.

It’s wonderful to see where these prints have travelled, from a night of fishing on the coast of Nova Scotia to a film set in Newfoundland.

Thank you to Teichert Gallery for making this connection possible.

From Brooklyn to the mountains of North Carolina.

After wrapping up Frondescence at Usagi, I travelled to Wildacres Retreat for the Nature Printing Society ’s 50th Anniversary celebration.

A very different landscape and rhythm. Days filled with remarkable gyotaku and nature printing workshops, learning and sharing with fellow nature printers, surrounded by towering pines, mountain vistas, misty mornings and beautiful sunsets.

After the intensity of preparing for and installing the exhibition in New York, it has been good to be here—to make, learn, spend time outdoors, and reconnect with this generous community.

A beautiful transition from one experience to the next.

A closer look at Frondescence at Usagi.

This selection of seaweed prints began with natural forms gathered from the coast, revealing the details and character of each seaweed through the printing process.

It’s been great seeing these prints all together. I’m very grateful for all the support from the Usagi team.

Frondescence is on view at Usagi Gallery until September 27.

I've arrived in New York.

And day one is installation day, with plenty of tea.

After months of planning and weeks in the studio, seeing everything come together has been incredibly rewarding.

And now, I finally get to share it with you.

This selection of works on Japanese paper for Frondescence is now on display.

Fish, kelp, octopus and squid, printed through direct contact with the natural form.

I love the details this process reveals—scales, veins, membranes, textures and marks that might otherwise go unnoticed.

The exhibit is officially open.

The studio is slowly emptying.

Each piece is carefully wrapped, protected and packed for the journey ahead.

It's incredible to think that work created here in Nova Scotia will soon be making its way to Brooklyn.

Next stop: New York.

Atlantic Rockweed monotype, 2026

The snake-like fronds of Atlantic Rockweed brought Medusa to mind.

I was researching her mythology and history at the time, and the title Medusa’s Mercy emerged from that connection.

This piece is heading to New York for Frondescence at Usagi Gallery, September 16–27.

The seaweed is dried and pressed. Now, the printing begins.

At the work table, each piece is carefully positioned, inked, and pressed to capture its natural form.

A closer look at the textures, delicate structures, and individuality of each frond.
