How wonderfully sustainable!

The Japanese have been producing wood for 700 years without cutting down trees. In the 14th century, the extraordinary daisugi technique was born in Japan. Indeed, the daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees; by applying this technique to cedars, the wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, practically perfect for construction. A pruning as a rule of art that allows the tree to grow and germinate while using its wood, without ever cutting it down.

I am thrilled to announce that I have finally found a way to print my tree tesselations on HD metal. They arrived UV proof sturdy and ready to hang! I have an extra lovable family that just bought one and is hanging it over their bed, and it looks fantastic. Squeeeeee! 🌬❤️

Hi Everyone! Happy THANKS-GIVING!

RealM.Gallery is about to launch a cool, new concept in support of like-minded, sustainable organizations!

This will be a business win-win, where dollars that would normally go to galleries and/or agents for promoting my artworks, can instead be shared with non-profit organizations who are supporting and protecting trees, plants, and planetary health.

I will offer a 48-hour sale on specific work(s), during which time between 20% - 30% of profits will go to a select non-profit. I will also highlight the selected organization to my viewers. The organizations may promote the sale in their marketing as well.

I love marrying my business with my values! I'm so excited- hope you are, too!

Interested? Please sign up here for notifications when I launch a new collaboration here:
