"Shooting Star" Woodcut Print

The Plant Spirit Collection

5”x6” // Edition of 47

{cosmic connection & belonging}

“Shooting Star” is part of an ongoing study of plants and their essence. It is a 2 block color woodcut on handmade lokta paper. The plant fibers from the paper show through in the print. Ink is applied with some transparency so the colors and forms of all layers weave through each other. Each piece is an original, so while the prints are near identical, there will be some variation from the hand printing process from piece to piece.

Each print within The Plant Spirit Collection comes with a mini haiku meditation card.

The Flower Medicine Zine

Flower Medicine Zine Flower Medicine Zine
Flower Medicine Zine
$12.00

5.5”x8.5”

Some say plants are dreamers. They live in a sate of whimsical expression connected to the subconscious shifting of the universe. They are mediums, channeling and reflecting the emotions of the cosmos back into the world. So many creatures on earth are drawn to them from the pollinators to us humans. We say it’s because they are pretty to look at, but maybe it’s about something deeper.

The Flower Medicine Zine was born from a 100 day creative study on the spirit of flowers. This zine combines the visual art and musings that came to the surface over the weeks and months of floral devotion.

100 days of studying, drawing, painting, and connecting with flowers curated into an art zine and punctuated with little written observations and revelations.

This self published zine is for those who see the poetry in a petal. Feel free to pass it on as a love letter to another plant lover or add to your own collection.

Hi, I'm Val! Welcome to the woods.

Hi, I'm Val! Welcome to the woods. 〰️

I am an artist turned herbalist, turned artist again. I grew up in the dark knotty pine forests and flowing waters of the Michigan Northwoods. I fell in love with the weedy wildflowers and the way the crimson sunsets lie low and moody over the lakes.

To me, these places and parts of the natural world were always more than just beautiful things to look at, they were portals of connection to the deeper mysteries of life. All of my work, no matter the medium, revolves around this philosophy and curiosity.

"I look forward so much to your postings. They feel like dark, silky waters. Thank you for your wonderful work!"

"I feel a connection when I read your writing that I don't currently have in my life at this time. It moves me to tears sometimes, and it makes me feel like there is more to this life than just the 'Daily Grind' as so many people call their lives. Thank you for these moments of quiet wonder, they are sorely needed in this world of ours. "
~ Sam
"I enjoy reading your essays and how they compel me to be more aware while I'm in nature. I live in a townhouse and my garden is small and shady, but with your writings and my gardening almanac, I'm able to go along with you and Odin on your forest adventures, smelling the earth, and listening to the leaves crunch as you walk. Thank you Val."

Autumn chaos in the garden 🌼 my favorite garden season when everything is leggy and wild, half dying half thriving, when the flowers begin to match the leaves on the trees and I don't have to hide from the mosquitoes. And a gentle autumn rain to top
