WILD BOTANICA
A fine art photography series inspired by botanical illustration. The artform is both a medium for scientific record and an appreciation for the aesthetics of plants and flowers. During walks in the field, specimens are carefully harvested and transported to my studio. Using techinques of modern photography their complexity and unique character are revealed in incredible detail. The result is a contemporary interpretation of classic botanical art celebrating the ephemeral beauty of wild flora in Jackson Hole.
2023 marks the 75th year of my family’s floral business in North Carolina. Growing up surrounded by flowers instilled a sense of wonder and appreciation for their beauty. This work honors the legacy that my grandparents began and my parents and siblings continue.
“The greatest flower artists have been those who have found beauty in truth; who have understood plants scientifically, but who have yet seen and described them with the eye and hand of the artist.”
