Wing 78 Photograph

I am a Biologist, artist, conservationist dedicating my art and work to raising and researching butterflies. I take a photograph and apply modern technology to the image to bring out what is hidden inside. It is not much different than taking a specimen and placing it under a light microscope or in an electron microscope to see the unseen. By applying modern digital photographic filters to an image I am able to pull and stretch the fabric of what really comprises the image. It reminds me of a particle collider smashing apart matter to see the inner beauty of ever smaller pieces of the previously unseen. I take photos primarily of butterflies and flowers. I pull the images apart to see what greater beauty lies underneath.
