How Sending Love began & Why Flowers?
How "Sending Love ..." Began
The idea of designing greeting cards haunted my daydreams for a very long time! Using my extensive collection of photography and crazy obsession with quotes, that daydream is finally a reality.
My photography journey began 40 years ago. It's taken me all the way from printing in the darkroom, to photojournalism, to photographing concerts & local bands, to fashion & commercial photography, to video & film stills in Los Angeles. Many trips around the sun later, I found my happy place and fell in love with photographing children - who knew?
Rooted in black & white film, I taught myself to hand color fiber based prints producing timeless, hand-tinted portraits celebrating the heart & soul of childhood. These images have been featured on greeting cards with Leanin' Tree Publishing for 15 years in shops around the world. This work was and still is, near and dear to my heart. That's why these adorable hand-tinted images are my first choice to debut in the Sending Love Greeting Card Collection.
I hope you'll come along on this journey with me and my family. Our hope is for you to save yourself time, celebrate life and connect with your favorite people in a meaningful way. Make them smile. Sending the perfect card can make someone's day.
Why Flowers?
"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way ... things I had no words for." ~ Georgia O'Keefe
Inspired over the years by Georgia O'Keefe, Robert Mapplethorpe and so many others, it's inside the universe of flowers and botanicals where I discovered a kaleidoscope of visual surprises and abstract shapes through the lens of my camera. I became obsessed! Playing with shadow and light, flowers transform ... becoming abstract and subtle one moment ... to exaggerated and dramatic in the next. Becoming specific about abstraction, focusing on one aspect and sometimes using blur or intentional camera movement, combined with texture overlays, my hope is that these images will take you on a visual ride ... to a place where all things are possible.
A Visual Place to Breathe
