Pressed Stories on Glass

A mixed media series exploring the intersections of nature, femininity, and quiet power.
Each piece is created on glass, combining hand-drawn ink illustrations with pressed botanicals, painted cutouts, and fragments of typewritten poetry.

These works blur the line between fragility and strength—transparent yet grounded, ephemeral yet intentional. Whether adorned with wildflowers or woven with words, every frame tells a story in stillness and bloom.

Flourish

Flourish captures a moment of quiet power and renewal. A minimalist line drawing shows a woman arching her back, hands resting gently at her neck, as if embracing a deep breath or an inward bloom. From beneath her hands and the contours of her form, pressed flowers burst forth, radiating outward in a soft celebration of transformation, sensuality, and growth.

Framed in a gold hexagon and suspended between glass, this 4x4.75 inch piece invites light to pass through and highlight the organic textures within—an ethereal reminder that beauty often blooms from within.

Statement

Statement is a celebration of radical self-worth and unshakable confidence. A hand-drawn woman stands poised and unbothered, draped in flowing lines that echo classical forms, but her gaze is unmistakably modern. Behind her, vivid blue pressed petals bloom like a badge of honor. Paired with typewritten poetry that reads “you are that bitch,” the piece reclaims softness as strength and presence as power.

Set in a rectangular gold frame and layered between panes of glass, this 4x6 inch artwork is meant to be seen—held up to the light, unapologetic and luminous.

Drift

Drift captures a moment of introspection and quiet magic. A delicate line drawing of a woman glances back over her shoulder—serene, reflective, and untethered. Surrounding her are soft watercolor clouds and white pressed blooms, evoking a sky-bound sense of stillness and light. There’s a gentle tension between motion and pause—a quiet reminder to look back only long enough to rise.

Framed in a gold hexagon and layered between panes of glass, this approximately 5x7 inch piece glows with softness and grace, letting light filter through the clouds and petals like a daydream made visible.
