The following works are made from birch bark collected from dead and diseased birch trees.
Since the time of Neanderthals, and possibly earlier, Birch-craft has been practiced widely throughout the world, wherever birch trees have grown. In Eastern Europe, the land of my ancestors, birch trees have long held significant cultural and practical importance. I am proud to carry on the tradition of using this sacred material and to share with you nature's divine beauty. The species used include, but are not limited to: Betula papyrifera, Betula nigra, and Betula alleghaniensis. |
