Pressed botanicals in vintage frame
Original work
13.5” x 16.5”
River Claire is a one-of-a-kind original pressed flower artwork created from real botanicals. This botanical portrait study is part of the Living Icon approach, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and expressive presence through layered natural materials rather than literal depiction.
The composition is built through pressed botanical form, where gesture, contrast, and symbolic color create structure and emotion within the portrait. Organic layering replaces illustration, allowing the figure to emerge through material, rhythm, and negative space.
A defining red lip detail anchors the work, introducing a focal point of expression within an otherwise botanical structure. This element creates tension between abstraction and specificity, grounding the portrait in a single expressive gesture.
Created from real botanicals gathered and pressed over time in Arizona. Natural variation in color, texture, and form is preserved as part of the work’s character.
Signed by the artist with wax seal and year. Ready to hang.
Botanical materials will naturally soften and evolve over time, adding to the organic nature of the work.
