About Pressed Flower Art
Pressed flower art is the use of pressed flowers and leaves as artistic
medium to compose works of art. Different plant materials are dried and
preserved by various methods of pressing, later to be used in artistic
arrangements. This form of pressed flower art has been gaining popularity
amongst pressed flower artists, as seen in the Japanese Oshibana 押し花 works.
Pressed
Flower Artist
May uses pressed flowers, leaves, and various pressed plant materials
as art media to "paint" the picture in the her pictures to
design unique works of art. Pressed flowers and leaves are intricately
woven into the art work, creating a wonderful visual textures and
dimensions.
May is a self-taught, award winning pressed flower and mixed media artist. Her art can also be seen on the
front and back covers of a beautiful children's poem book. She is also a
Founding member of the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild,
and served as a Committee Member and Web Director from 2001 to 2007.
The Joy of Pressed Flowers
"Painting" with flowers reminds me
of how God is so awesome, because each
little petal and each little leaf is perfectly designed by
Him first. ~ May Long
