Nature: Up Close and Personal

This collection of pictures is the core of my first solo-exhibition. Many of them were captured after I started experimenting with a Macro lens. When my camera could record things from a very close range, I started to see patterns and images that I had previously overlooked. From the many generous and supportive comments I received at my first show, the one that made me the happiest was from an acquaintance who said: 'When I left the gallery, I saw a small coloured mushroom on the lawn, and I wanted to get on my hands and knees to look at it up-close!' And that is the essence of the collection... to see familiar things for the first time. I hope it reminds You to stop and 'look at the roses'. We live in an Art Gallery, managed by Nature. And the admission is always Free.
