Screen printing is more than a technique—it’s an artisan art form that breathes life into fabric. At its core, it’s about precision and passion, where every pull of the squeegee transforms a blank canvas into a story. As an artist inspired by nature (check out my work at @planetariumdesign on Instagram), I use screen printing to capture the delicate beauty of botanical designs—think wildflowers, lush leaves, and intricate vines. Each print is handcrafted, using eco-friendly water-based inks to create vibrant, soft-touch patterns that feel as alive as the plants they depict.
What makes screen printing truly special is its blend of tradition and individuality. From sketching original botanical artwork to carefully aligning screens in my studio, every step is a labor of love. The process demands patience—mixing inks to match a flower’s hue, ensuring each layer aligns perfectly, and pulling the ink just right to preserve every detail. No two prints are ever identical, making each piece a unique work of art.
This artisan approach elevates screen printing beyond mass production. It’s about creating wearable masterpieces that connect us to nature. Whether it’s a crop top blooming with Texas wildflowers or a scarf adorned with ferns, my botanical designs celebrate the earth’s beauty, one hand-printed piece at a time.
