Ethereal Asters I - Vertical Print

Ethereal garden portrait of purple New England Aster blossoms, using in-camera and analog techniques​ only to create a soft, dreamy kaleidoscopic effect through multiple exposures. Part of a larger series (Portraits of Nature) highlighting and depicting the beauty of nature throughout its entire life cycle, through close-ups and unique perspectives. The work captures fleeting moments of wildflower blooms throughout the day when the light creates dramatic vignettes, reminiscent of a portrait studio. The artist uses a unique toolbox of found object light modifiers and in-camera techniques (no photoshop) to create whimsical fine art botanical portraits of nature in the wild. She captures florals in a way that reflects her personal experience with nature visually, emotionally, and spiritually.
