Pressed botanicals in upcycled 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 draws from folk portraiture and Americana traditions, 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. The work explores memory, relationship, and narrative presence through natural material and negative space.
Tillie is formed from gathered desert blooms, her palette drawn from brittlebrush and roadside flora collected across Arizona. A subtle heart detail from a garden vine anchors her composition with a quiet personal note.
Clyde is rendered with structured contrast—striped tones, deep red accents, and softened botanical forms that suggest presence and character without excess. His form balances strength with restraint, completing the paired dynamic.
Together, the figures create a contemplative study of connection, tradition, and symbolism—held within a single unified botanical composition.
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.
