Colleen Eason

Using native and exotic plants as the base material for my most recent work, I endeavor to align methodology and message in paper-based works featuring varied approaches to printmaking, mark making and dye-application. My subject matter is the small species as a sign of the environment.
A guiding principle in my work is to reduce the impact my creative practice has on the environment. I am using soy based ink, natural materials and I make my own inks and dyes.
