modernbotanica was conceived as a way to create classic, botanical images with a modern appeal ° As a Horticulturist, I have long been fascinated with capturing permanent glimpses of my favorite plants, as well as those that have particularly

interesting characteristics ° Pollen Pistil Stamen Calyx Petal Leaf—captured exactly as nature formed them °

These botanicals appeal to a wide audience with their vivid colors, minute details and inky black backgrounds ° Though most of the images are indicative of plants commonly cultivated in Houston and the Southeast United States, I am working all the time to add specimens with exotic appeal ° Though I try not to limit myself to any particular plant part, I have a special love of interesting foliage—both in form and color °

Each image is an original printing on high-quality photo paper ° Protect them from moisture, extreme heat and intense light as you would any other photo ° They are matted, mounted and packaged with acid-free materials in order to protect your investment ° While there is a wide array of stock frames available, replacing the glazing with museum or other non-reflective glass will negate the “mirror” effect °
