]]> When Katie Brooks picked up a ginkgo leaf off the ground on her way to college back in 2018, she had no idea this tiny moment would change her life forever. In the years to come, she mastered the art of painting beautiful landscapes on dried leaves, blending her love for art and nature into one. 

Brooks has been passionate about art since her childhood years, but it took some time before she found her true calling. She tried using other natural materials as a canvas, including feathers, stones, and seashells, but something clicked when she started experimenting with dried leaves.

“Working with real leaves feels like collaborating with the forest itself… I’m enamored by the idea of taking what would otherwise decay and make it timeless – taking stories, memories, and precious places and immortalizing them on a canvas grown from the very soil of that moment,” she wrote on her official website.

After deciding to quit her job to pursue art full-time, Brooks poured her soul into the 100 Painted Leaves Collection, painting a new leaf each day. She’s always looking for leaves with a broad, smooth surface that will let her paintings shine. Each of her tiny paintings requires a lot of time and patience because she chose to work with an incredibly delicate and fragile canvas, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.

]]> Families sharing moments of comfort, people interacting with nature, and animals enjoying their freedom are just some of the scenes that live in the leaf art made by Riane Leafworks.

This Tokyo, Japan-based artist manages to capture all sorts of wholesome moments onto a single leaf. Most of the time, Riane uses the leaves that fall from the tree as part of its life cycle, saving them from being crushed and allowing them to continue their existence as a piece of art.

According to Riane, her leaf art allows her to express “her unique sensibility and worldview” while focusing her creative efforts “on the beauty of people and nature, the activities of animals and children, and the sounds of children interacting.”

Riane studied drawing at Shinjuku Art Institute but ended up putting her art career on pause to work for a company based in a different field. However, that love for art never veined, and she ended up returning to it thanks to the encouragement of her kids.

After a while, Riane started sharing her works on Instagram and quickly amassed a significant following on social media. She also organized several exhibits of her leaf art in Tokyo and started offering classes for those who wanted to try out leaf art.
