My garden (and nature in general!) provide so much beauty - bird's singing, emerging flowers and shoots, the colours of a sunset, the sounds at night......

My garden also holds memories. I played endlessly with friends around this palm tree when it, and I, were much smaller. New plants have been springing up and it is wonderful to see the continuity of life - from a young plant to a large tree to young plants again. These are the prints of leaves from one of the young plants on an incredibly soft and thin organic bamboo and organic cotton tank top.

This piece is available as part of #artistsupportpledge which is a generous culture and dynamic economy in support of artists and makers around the world.

The concept is a simple one. Artists and makers post images of their work to sell for NO MORE than TT$1400 (US$200, £200, €200, ¥20000) each (not including shipping.) Anyone can then buy the work. Every time the artist or maker reaches TT$7000 (US$1000) of sales they pledge to buy another artist’s work for TT$1400 (US$200). This is open to artists all over the world and is to encourage a more democratic, equal and open economy for all artists and makers.

I’m mostly drawn to painting on a T-shirt as if it is canvas - literally, creating a painting that can be worn - I find that intriguing. Sometimes, I am drawn to creating a look with a central image alone - similar to the graphic Tees that were popular in the 80’s. This is one of those pieces.

It’s a one-off Hand-printed palm leaf and hand-painted organic cotton and sweatshop-free white T-shirt. A leaf from the young palm tree shown which came from the larger palm tree was used to create this piece.

This is one of the simpler pieces I made using a young palm leaf. I made 2 other pieces with this leaf that are also available here at Shop Caribe!

This leaf is that of a young palm tree that has taken root in the garden. I grew up around the 'mother plant,' when it was much smaller and didn’t have a trunk. Seeing new plants coming up is heart-warming - I think of nature’s continuity and that of life. I hope the joy that my garden has given, and continues to give, me can now be extended to others through pieces such as this.
