I love taking close-up photographs of flowers. Children, natural scenery and wildlife are also among some of my favorites to photograph.
I also enjoy creating shadow boxes of realistic gardens and landscapes with the use of real flowers and greenery. I like to make miniatures such as tools, lattices, and garden benches. I also use real flowers and greenery to create miniature flowering plants potted in a variety of handmade or embellished containers. Some of the other miniatures I have made include seed packets in baskets, books, and planted flats of flowers. I have embellished small glass greenhouses and shelving with these items along with handmade tables, tiny framed photographs and more to further enhance the realistic look.
My first show is March 1st through April 30th, 2009 at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Alabama.
