The imagination (me) — Eco Artist – Storyteller

These “Botanicals” are all created from my imagination. Each begins with photograph (most of the time a flower) or some type of organic material. The process of the digital illustration continues when I create the mix of photography, drawing, and graphic arts. A creature is born into the community of Botaniumus where everyone has a job/a cause. The community is one of whimsy as well as pristine environmental practices. The artwork itself is great fun and a pleasure to create. The message is always one of sustainability and kindness to the earth and one another. Eco Awareness, Eco Education and Smiles are what the creatures are all about!

“It’s art and green consciousness mixed with a ton of imagination. Elizabeth Carren creates mythological yet sustainable characters composed of flower petals, moss and other botanical fragments, resulting in something akin to organic Transformers…

“I really want the products to make a difference,” Carren said.

All are made of ecologically sound material and infuse her skills as an artist, her love of technology and a very vivid imagination.

“It’s my passion and my pleasure,” she said.” ”

Beasty or beauty is surely in the eye and mind of the beholder! I hope you find them all fun, intriguing, dignified and enchanting. Each one is an original image.

The purpose of the Botanicals is to educate and spread the message of “green.”
The hope of the Botanicals is to get into the hearts of minds of the public.
The mantra of the land is Environmental Consciousness and Kindness to earth & one another.
