Congratulations to my mum, the leafagist, for being selected for this honor. If you'd like to know more about how she came to art even after she'd become a grandmother, check out
this profile.

Danny, please tell you mom I love her work. I have been feeling like I should document the elms in our neighborhood. We have lost 3 in 2 years.

Congrats to her! I am especially impressed with the amount of dedication and research she puts into knowing the characteristics of all the leaves, how they dry, what glues to use and so forth as the article discusses. She is a Renaissance woman - an artist, a craftsperson and a scientist as well.

Danny -- your link is now going to a piece on wine. Any chance of getting some kind of permanent shot of her page?? (This is thanks to Ron Sullivan of Toad in the Hole who tried to click through a link on Feathers of Hope...)
