Want to commission a similar work? Agapanthus flowers only bloom from June to August in northern California. I can only make prints of these in the summer months.

These are two unique hand-printed 24h x 18w" cyanotypes made without a camera or a photo negative. Sold unframed.

Their combined area is 24h x 36" w unframed. However, once matted and framed, they span over 4 feet with a gap if framed at 24"w x 30"h EACH .

Though these monoprints look like wood cuts or screen prints, they are actually a form of photography called a cyanotype. Every botanical cyanotype I make is unique made using fresh plants and trees from my own garden laid in that exact composition on the hand-coated light-sensitive paper only once. There is no ink, no printing press and no copper plate or wood block.

Hand-Printed Botanical, Landscape and Abstract Cyanotypes

Christine So is a native San Franciscan painter, photographer and printmaker living across the bay in the hills of Oakland, California. Her paintings and cyanotypes have been commissioned by Mayo Clinic, Ritz Carlton, Kimpton Hotels, Starbucks, MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, UTMB Hospital in Galveston and purchased by private collectors in 15 countries, among them, Timothée Chalamet.

Her calm, monochromatic, nature-inspired works on paper are not printed with ink but are actually a form of photography from the 1800s. She works in the antique photographic process of cyanotypes, creating abstract and botanical monotypes in shades of blue as well as landscape photographs of the foggy woods where she lives. The plants used in her one-off prints are cut from her own garden or found in the woods nearby and printed on pure cotton watercolor paper. No two are alike. Only her landscape photographs developed using giant negatives and the same cyanotype chemicals are replicable, yet even those hand-printed photographs each differ slightly.

Most of the works listed here on Wescover.com are unframed works on paper, specifically cyanotypes. However, Christine So paints in acrylic on canvas and oil on panel as well, and there are about 15 paintings on canvas and panel listed. Most are not framed, but a rare few are. Please read the entire description.

NOTE: Most of the works on paper are sold unframed --although the display photos may depict them as framed on a virtual wall to give a sense of their eventual size once a mat and frame are added. Take note of the item's description before purchasing.
