ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Queen Anne’s Lace has become a favorite wildflower. The various stages of growth provide ample lines, textures, and movement to study from many angles. The plants are quite stunning in their natural colors - green stems, leaves and white flowers. However, in monochrome, the black and gray values reveal a mesmerizing depth in contrast that wins me over every time.

Artist Statement

My photography represents the beauty I see in everything. I am in search of often overlooked scenes and aesthetically common details to express my vision. Many of my favorite subjects are found in nature. My love for this craft is limitless, so I do not specialize in genres. I am motivated by the search itself, inspired by the excitement that comes from found art. Much of the work represents what is uncovered nearby. There's beauty and compelling material everywhere – if we’re looking for it.

At times, capturing the sublime may require skewing reality or pushing the boundaries of photography and post processing techniques. This is what makes it fun and creative! I have found it takes patience and courage to achieve satisfying results. Whether it is a simple flower, crumbling architecture, or a rusty artifact, drawing out the beauty in the potentially mundane is my goal.
