A great passion of mine lies in foraging and documenting wild herbaceous flora from diverse urban and rural places I live and work in. Working with plant specimens from existing herbarium collections and from plants' natural habitats, has been my journey towards gaining botanical literacy. I like to share this knowledge through my work.
​My largest compendium of documented plant specimens are here represented in my 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.
