In her college days as design major, Pat began using a Canon 35mm camera.  Inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau, and with a strong interest in natural science, she has enjoyed photographing nature along the east coast and New England. In the late 1990's while designing intranet web sites, she began to explore the use of digital cameras for photographing plants and flowers. Pat's equipment includes both Nikon and Olympus cameras and lenses.
 

Pat currently resides in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The process of photographing flowers is a meditative one for her, as in the garden, time stands still. She tries to imbue a sense of the inner landscape or garden of the soul, along with those illusive childhood memories into her photographs.

While studying fine art floral photography under Tony Sweet, a well-known and highly respected nature photographer, Pat was voted top in her class.  She has been influenced by the floral masters, Georgia O'Keeffe, Robert Mapplethorpe, Edward Weston, and Harold Feinstein. More recently, through this website, she has begun to share with others the images of the floral world that she finds so compelling.
