My work is inspired by the unlimited variety and exact structures found in the natural world. I am constantly discovering altered photographic techniques and skills to improve as a photographer. Alternative flowers were created using a flatbed scanner rather than a conventional digital camera or film. Modern technology is forever changing, and I feel we can often discard items for newer and better. The scanner, to me, represent time, something that we all once had and now, due to modern technology, have forgotten.

Bio
I am a fine art photographer and my images explore the natural world around us. I am deeply interested in colour, texture and form and how nature can have an impact on our emotions. I believe education and learning is a gift which should always be developed and past on to others.
