Pressed botanicals in upcycled vintage frame
Original work
20.75” x 16.75”
Tillie & Clyde is a one-of-a-kind original pressed flower artwork created from real botanicals. This paired botanical portrait is inspired by Day of the Dead traditions and folk portraiture, reinterpreted through layered pressed plant material rather than illustrative depiction.
The composition presents two distinct figures in quiet dialogue, where identity is expressed through botanical structure, color, and ornament. Through natural forms and carefully balanced negative space, the artwork explores themes of connection, memory, companionship, and shared history.
Tillie is composed of gathered Arizona desert blooms, her palette inspired by brittlebush, native wildflowers, and roadside botanicals. A delicate heart-shaped vine detail is woven into her composition, offering a subtle symbol of affection and remembrance.
Clyde is defined through structured botanical forms, layered striped textures, deep crimson accents, and softened natural elements that suggest quiet strength and enduring character. Together, the paired portraits create a contemplative botanical study of relationship, symbolism, and the enduring beauty found in nature.
Created from real botanicals gathered and pressed over time in Arizona. Natural variation in color, texture, and form is preserved as part of the artwork's character.
Signed by the artist with wax seal and year. Ready to hang.
