One Photograph. Seasons of Inspiration.
In 1944, Katherine Nies’s Abuela was photographed as an expectant mother. That image became the inspiration for Foliage, a collection of seasonal botanical portraits that reimagine her profile through the natural world.
Using flowers, leaves, vines, and other foraged materials gathered on walks through the Virginia countryside, Katherine gives each season its own face. The resulting artworks celebrate family, memory, and the fleeting beauty of nature.
Today, those portraits live on in a collection of art prints, stationery, and thoughtfully designed everyday objects.
