Insects from Nature: The Art of Found Objects
What IS FloraBug? (psst - not a real bug)
FloraBugs are not real bugs - they're insects and spiders made from found, natural flora (plants). I gather leaves, twigs, acorns, and anything else that speaks to me and arrange them into mini ecosculptures. They are given Latin names and mounted in a shadow box with their names to look like "real" specimens.

Where Can I Buy a FloraBug?
I do several shows a year in and around Connecticut and New York. Unfortunately, they are too fragile to be shipped and must be purchased in person. Check Upcoming Shows to find out where I'll be next! For florabug kits and other nature inspired art and jewelry, check out my Etsy Store
