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 plant specimens from existing herbarium collections or from plants' natural habitats, has been my source of gaining botanical literacy. This knowledge I share through my work.
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 176 plants that I have documented in watercolour media on Mulberry tree paper.
Each scroll measures 10 meter in vertical length and 46 cm in width. For exhibition purposes, they can be scrolled out of a wooden box. I was fortunate to exhibit these scrolls at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC, in 2016; the Kunstfluegel gallery of the Gedok-Brandenburg Germany, 2019; and the Sunshine Coast Arts Council and Doris Crowston Gallery in Sechelt, BC, in 2022.
