Description

Iris are probably my favorite flower. There are other flowers I love: peonies, magnolia, poppies, but irises are a sentimental favorite because of my love of Van Gogh.

My sister and mother are both avid gardeners and it's always a pleasure to photograph their nurtured gardens. A statue of St Francis has been in this garden for years and can be seen in the background of this photo. My parent's last pets are buried near him and under his protection.

Iris is derived from the greek word for rainbow, due to the many varieties and colors. They grow from rhizomes or bulbs.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.

I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
