What inspires you?

Everything: any and all things beautiful.

Describe your creative process.

First and foremost is to find a flower that meets my standards. I grow many of my subjects to ensure the flowers are pristine. My artwork is created by merging several images together. This technique involves taking photos at different focal lengths in order to capture all the beautiful detail that simply cannot be captured with one shot. Once the desired images have been chosen (typically anywhere from 10 to 40 photos) they are carefully combined into one, at which point it is painstakingly edited to achieve the desired finished artwork.
