My passion for nature is very broad. It raises the question of whether it is always ethical what I do to some plants to tell my story and make my point. On the other hand, we also cut and cook plants in our kitchens because we need to eat.
One of my lifelong passions has been bonsai. I still vividly remember a large bonsai in the dojo where I trained. It was there for only a week or two, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Besides redrawing Looney Tunes characters from the popular Flippo’s in Smiths (now Lay’s) chips, I was already drawing trees, plants, and bonsai.
Over the years, I have created many drawings in various media. In this portfolio, I have gathered all my bonsai and related drawings. This is the first time I am sharing these works online. Bonsai has always been a beloved subject and resonates with many people, making these (often smaller) drawings widely appreciated.
