The Collection celebrates the numerous plants of the historic Green Hill Cemetery in Greensboro, North Carolina. I began collecting leaf specimens in the Fall of 2008; sketched and cut the linoleum blocks throughout 2011. I printed at the Penland School of Crafts in Penland, North Carolina during a Winter Residency in January, 2012.
