Rainforest Series
This series of silkscreen prints utilizes multi-layered repeating patterns to highlight the vibrant and varied life that is indigenous to the rainforests in South America. These repeating patterns were designed using flowers and plants that are unique to these rainforests, including Poinsettias, Coffee Arabica, Acai palms, Helioconias, and Bromiliads. Native endangered animals are also hand drawn on underlying natural craft paper, emphasizing the contrast between the bright hues of the forest and the more neutral tones of the creatures. This series was created to memorialize the distinct beauty of the South American rainforests, in response to the devastating 2019 fires.
