Printed from a hand-carved block, the absence of ink enhances the embossed shadows, emphasizing the intricate details of each plant’s form. Much like a cameo role in a film or a piece of cameo jewelry that highlights an individual, each piece in this series focuses on a particular plant, bringing attention to its specific role within the natural ecosystem.

Wild meadow parsnip (Thaspium trifoliatum) is a perennial herb native to eastern North America, commonly found in open meadows, prairies, and along woodland edges. This plant typically reaches a height of 1 to 3 feet, with slender, branching stems that bear compound leaves composed of three leaflets. The leaflets are lance-shaped (sward-like), toothed, and have a slightly hairy texture.

Blooming in late spring to early summer, wild meadow parsnip produces clusters of small, bright yellow flowers arranged in flat-topped umbels. These vibrant flower clusters attract a variety of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. The plant prefers well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile addition to native plant gardens and restoration projects. Its bright yellow flowers add a splash of color to natural landscapes and support local biodiversity.

I have a husband who pays attention, and so unexpectedly, on Christmas morning a couple of years ago, I unwrapped a cardboard tube. Inside it was a twin set – two prints, the prints I loved and wanted – the sweetest gift. I was ELATED. We had them specialty framed, and they live happily in unison together above our mantle, where I knew they always belonged. Thank you, Lauren! Thank you for giving visual life to a feeling and a memory that so many of us know, love, and cherish. You are MAGIC.

Since my husband and I moved from the southeast to the northwest last summer, I have tried to fill our new home with as many pieces and treasures from our former Appalachian home as I can. Lauren’s print is like a window back to the hills and the woods that we loved so much. Thank you so much for creating something that brings so much joy to my soul.

Lauren’s work is all over our home. I have nothing but good things to say. Her work is stunning, detailed, and clearly labor intensive. If we had a choice, we would live in Boone, but can’t, but we do keep the magic of that area here with her work.
