My photos of flowers showcase the intricacies of structure in nature. Big, bold, bright and beautiful. I like to keep my images clean, natural and uncomplicated making the flower the star. I am stripping down the scene so that the viewer can focus on the most important elements.

Walking through gardens, we may not always see the intricacies and details of nature, especially in flowers. My photographs give me an opportunity to explore the architecture and designs of the gardens, enabling my viewers to see the details that are often missed. My flowers are like portraits, capturing the essence of their beauty within that moment of time.

I am fascinated by the complex, but orderly structure and design found in nature. Seeing the captured portraits, allows the viewer to see the details that make up the flowers as well as celebrate light, color and shape, as the portraits become art.
