I admire nature in all of her glory. Flowers never cease to amaze me in their complexity and colors. I’m working on a new series of flowers for the upcoming art show season and this sunflower is a piece I shot just last week. She will be printed on metal and available for purchase at my first show – The French Nest Market in Fort Collins, Colorado on May 21st.

Thank you, Susie. The first one is a little nerve wracking because it involves getting everything together after the winter off, but I think I’m going to be ready!

Thanks, Carrie. It is the first of the season. I’m in a juried show about once a month over the summer art show season. I love doing it, but I don’t go too crazy since I have a “day” job! 🙂
