Tea bags are made from Abaca, the Philippine word for Manila hemp (Musa Textilis), a type of banana tree. Abaca is a strong fiber capable of standing up to hard use. Tea bags are no thicker than a standard tissue, but try dipping one of those in boiling water! It is...

“ Meg’s ability to capture the beauty of this sunrise location overwhelmed me. The joyful and calm feelings it evokes can’t be overstated. Masterful.”
Elegant, Delicate, and tranquil is how I would describe Meg Black’s paintings. Upon viewing Meg’s work I was encapsulated and was immediately brought to the moment portrayed in the painting. The realistic nature scenes are absolutely magical. Any room can be uplifted with the positive energy of her pieces, they are breathtaking to say the least. The aura behind her work leaves you with a warm feeling and truly makes me feel peaceful and relaxed.

September garden, 9 x 9x 1 inches, blue painted maple floater frame.
The cooler nights bring fresh blooms in the morning for flowers that cannot tolerate the heat-can’t say I blame them, I’m not a fan of the heat either! I thought of this when I painted this painting, The abundance of wild asters, daisies, sunflowers, and lupine inspired me to capture the feel of these natural beauties before autumn sings her song.

My pulp painting process.
Why paint with pulp? And what is pulp-painting anyway? 👩🎨 The ”Pulp” I use is abaca, a fiber from the inner bark of the banana tree. It is extremely strong, acid free, and holds color beautifully. Another use for abaca fiber is to make rigging for sailing vessels and tea bags (ever wonder why yea bags don’t fall apart when dipped in hot water)? 👩🏽🎨 If you paint with oil on canvas, there is a good chance you are using abaca. Commercial canvas of the highest quality includes abaca fiber to ensure it is strong enough to be framed without glass. 👩🎨But why bother using this material when commercially made paint is available? The answer is simple: texture. Nature imagery is my primary subject. And nature is full of texture. By using abaca that has a textured quality, I am able to recreate the many textures of nature in my work. From still ponds to crashing shorelines to fields of wild flowers, abaca allows me to recreate these textures on a 2D surface. 👩🏼🎨 My slogan “recapture the emotion of nature” comes from using this wonderfully textured material as my painting medium.
