UNFRAMED. Ships rolled in a tube.

On 100% cotton watercolor paper. Signed on the back by the artist.
Same 18 x 36-inch size and same shade of blue as "Midnight Olive Trees." (I think I took one photo while one print was still wet and the other when it was dry).

Though this monoprint looks like a woodcut or screen print, this is actually a form of antique photography called a cyanotype. Every botanical print is entirely unique made using fresh cut branches laid in that exact composition on the hand-coated light-sensitive paper only once. My botanical cyanotypes are each one-of-a-kind slow cameraless photographs made outdoors using natural sunlight. There is no lens, no plastic photo negative, no ink, etched plate, carved block or printing press.

From Deep in the Woods: Original Acrylic and Oil paintings and Hand-Printed Cyanotypes

Christine So is a native San Franciscan painter, photographer and printmaker living across the bay next to a redwood forest 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 botanical cyanotype prints 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. There are a number of paintings in acrylic and oils on canvas as well. Most artworks 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.

Christine has such a connection to nature and the ability to translate that into beautiful pieces of art. Her cyanotypes are created with found materials from the natural world. Created in the 19th century, cyanotypes are so striking with their deep blues and real emphasis on the subject matter. They seem so modern, yet are rooted in history. I love that Christine creates permanence of objects she often finds in the foothills around her home. Her pieces are wonderful, and she is lovely to work with.

I own three of Christine’s cyanotype photograph paintings and another of her earlier acrylic work. Christine has an exceptional eye for composition and a keen sense of how to create a striking image using this technique. I find she is constantly exploring interesting and fresh ways to showcase the uniqueness, versatility and beauty of her cyanotype. I especially love the way her pieces capture the light and shadows often evoking moody blues, eerie, brooding and mysterious atmospheres. Her forest landscapes are filled with a sense of stillness and solitude , an eerie beauty which I’m always drawn to. These are my favorite pieces of hers.

I love Christine's art and buy something different every time she has a show. The blue cyanotypes of nature are so soothing and peaceful. She's always updating her styles and collections, so there's always something more to add to my collection.

Christine is a joy to work with! Her beautiful, nature-inspired art is peaceful and lovely! The colors are so calming and fit perfectly in our 1950s cabin. I couldn't be happier with my choice... it makes me smile every time I look at it!

I loved working with Christine! She brought years of experience as well as her creative talent to our project. We weren't quite sure how the branches we provided her were going to translate but she did such an extensive exploration that we got the artwork we absolutely love! We're so happy to have worked with Christine.

I ordered one of Christine So’s abstract cyanotypes for a recording studio because we needed something soothing and organic in a studio space that is defined by technology and rigidity. Christine’s artwork has a unique perspective, a perfect balance between abstract and biomorphic modernity. And the color is rich and deep, and seemed to fit any wall, but it landed nicely in a warm wood panel-lined recording booth. We noticed her careful attention to detail, both in the artwork and her framing. We also appreciated her very careful packaging, which ensured the artwork was delivered in unblemished condition. Overall we’re extremely happy with our purchase.

The minute I saw Christine’s stunning pieces I knew I has to purchase a series. Her innovative cyanotype techniques offer an imaginative and modern interpretation on the antiquated photographic process. The elegant simplicity of the artists nature inspired subject matter is fitting for all homes and personal styles.
