Inspired from Autumn in NC. The leaves created a perfect project to explore shadow, light, and color on wood rounds and paper.

This series explores the quiet beauty of autumn leaves rendered on natural birch wood rounds. Each piece studies the interplay of light, color, shadow, and reflection, capturing the delicate textures and fleeting moments found in nature. Using colored pencils and touches of white gel pen, these works highlight the subtle brilliance of water droplets, the imperfect edges of fallen leaves, and the warm grain of birch that supports them.
Explore the project to see how light transforms simple leaves into moments of stillness and wonder.
