A great passion of mine lies in foraging and documenting wild herbaceous flora from diverse urban and rural habitats in the various places I happen to live and work in. On this journey, working with botanists and having access to dried plant specimens from existing herbarium collections has been a great source of gaining botanical literacy. My largest compendium of such references are here represented in four Lone Valley Herbarium Scolls which honour not only my first homeland but also a collaboration with the German botanist Dr. Hermann Muhle (University of Ulm Herbarium) who gathered, compiled and botanized 174 plants that I have illustrated in watercolour media on Mulberry tree paper; each scroll measures 10 meter in vertical length and 46 cm in width. Each of these works are scrolled out of a wooden box. I was fortunate to exhibit these scrolls at the Doris Crowston Gallery in Sechelt, BC; generously presented by the Sunshine Coast Arts Council in 2022,
