We employ several specific practices for working with specimens. From entomological and botanical to oceanic and geological, we collect the most beautiful and inspiring specimens we can find, prepare them with natural treatments for longevity, and curate into display frames.
Visit our Specimen Sea gallery for framed pieces, and our Objet d'art for free-standing specimens.
Traditional hand applied gilding. Before the leaves are overlaid we use a hand-painting technique for applying the adhesive. We then burnish into the artwork to create a smooth and lustrous finish.

Some examples of our Silkscreen work include:
On selected prints, we overlay custom hand-painted elements to give each piece it's own unique embellishment. This technique is currently used with Noah's Ark, hand watercolor.
We prepare our archival paper in three distinct ways:
To age (or tint) the paper, we apply natural pigments by hand.
Every piece is treated with love.
