I explore the relationships between various color harmonies and surface textures within my art. In the photographic perspective, utilizing these patterns to present the natural elements in my images allows the multiple patterns and colors to be viewable within the symmetrical designs that ultimately are created. The abstract method being utilized also allows the beauty of the flora to be shown in an alternative fashion. The original images that the final shots are built from are roses, lilies, hydrangeas, fuchsias and wildflowers. All images were shot with a macro lens to get as close as possible to the subject, allowing the anatomy and form to be the focus of the image.  Printed on acid-free rag paper.
