Welcome! We're so glad you're here :) At Day Three Creations you will find high quality herbarium specimen art. I create framed original botanicals (real plants), and prints from high resolution scans on archival paper.
My original botanicals are made from carefully selected real plants found mostly in Oregon's, Colorado's, and Louisiana's natural flora that have been pressed, coated, and artfully mounted on high quality paper made especially for preserving plants. Each plant has been labeled according to the standard use in an herbarium (a "library" of preserved plants used primarily by researchers). Special attention to scientific accuracy and preservation as artwork have been given to each piece, along with a lot of joy and hard work.
My work has been seen in Country Living Magazine, on HGTV's Love It Or List It Vancouver, on DIY Channel's Stone House Revival, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel Lake Tahoe, in Buzzfeed, in Etsy's marketing material and in all 50 U.S. states and on six continents. My work has also been used by some of America's top interior designers.
We hope you enjoy these in your home as much as I did making them!
Please check back periodically for new specimens and prints!

The story of Day Three Creations
Thanks for visiting!
I was born and raised in Colorado, where I developed a love for both art and science. In 2005 I earned a B.S. in Biology, and in 2007 a M.S. in Botany, specializing in the evolutionary classification of plants. During my time at Colorado State University I taught labs in Botany and Plant Identification and spent summers locating and collecting plants in the foothills of Colorado for use in these labs. Students learned to collect, identify, press, mount, and label plant specimens for use in an herbarium, which is a library of preserved plants used by researchers. Within a couple of years of my graduation, I married Anthony, we had two kids, and I had decided to stay at home to raise and homeschool our kids.
In 2011 we moved to Oregon at which point Anthony transitioned out of his career in engineering and into full-time Christian ministry and started attending Seminary. I began looking for a way to earn income at home while raising our kids. Wishing I could find a way to combine my love for creating art and enthusiasm about plant science, I was reminded that I had all the skills required to make scientific artwork from real plants! Thus, one evening in June of 2013 we decided that making artfully arranged herbarium specimens and selling them on Etsy was the perfect side-job for me, and so we started our business, Day Three Creations.
My training has not only equipped me to create clean, professional herbarium specimens, but also to collect plants without doing damage to the environment. I choose my plants based on their commonness, location, size, and aesthetic quality.
My part-time profession as a scientific artist has been a family endeavor. Anthony, who is wonderfully supportive, is skilled in business management, in developing processes for manufacturing, and in quality control. Together we have developed a “lean manufacturing process” for creating high-quality art. Our whole family enjoys going together on collecting trips and scouting for the “perfect plants”!
My greatest desire is to see my botanical artwork bring honor and glory to God, who in His unfathomable love spoke into existence the heavens and earth and everything in them.
I hope you've enjoyed our story! Please take a look around the shop. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

My Local Print Shop
New Orleans, LA
My prints are made with the expertise of some great people at a few local print shops who have helped turn the raw images of my herbarium specimens into life-like prints of the originals. Currently, they are printed at a small, family-owned shop here in New Orleans.

Additional policies and FAQs
One of my favorite parts of this job is doing custom orders, and I would love to do one for you! Each of my original framed specimens are appraised after being completed. As such, for most custom orders on original specimens, I won't be able to give you an exact quote ahead of time. I'll give you an estimate based on averages as well as a maximum quote. Depending on the nature of the work, a custom charge of up to 20% (before shipping) will be added to the finished work's appraisal as well as a down payment of 50% of the estimate. If you are interested in a custom original specimen, please convo me for more details.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
If you are ordering from another country, please note that your home country may charge you additional customs, duties or VAT fees. To find out more about your home country's customs laws, visit your government website or contact your local post office.
Again, please don't hesitate to contact me with questions. Happy Etsy shopping!
