I am a Louisiana artist utilizing our ecosystem as my palette. I have been creating photographic nature collages for over 15 years. I utilize sacred geometry because I believe that all life forms from it. Within my photographic collages I convey the transformative and healing power of nature as well as themes of rebirth and reawakening. I have utilized nature to help heal myself. In Pollination I photograph living butterflies. The geometric mandalas can transport a viewer into another dimension within themselves. Pollination is all about breathing for healing. I believe you can meditate with these works and reach the 4th dimension. I encourage everyone to plant more wildflowers. My series Aphrodite at Alhambra are a reflection of self awareness and self love.
