Suzanne
Craig has spent all her life living close to nature. Her technique called
Bioprints® combines high tech color reproduction equipment with her
natural eye and passion for plants to produce limited edition botanical prints,
note cards (fold notes) and switch plate covers. All material for Bioprints®
comes from her garden, the woods, fields and beaches near where she lives in
Mabou Mines,
‘Craig has
created a fascinating marriage of print making and a copier’s photographic
image. Her print technique is accessible to anyone, but arranging plants with
the artlessness of nature takes an artist’s and naturalist’s eye. Roots, leaves
and soil are often included.
In some pieces, a few of nature’s imperfections are left on the plant, such as
leaf holes. Craig’s art form aims to delight rather than disturb.’
