The Chinese symbols for art, I am told, combine EYE, HAND, and HEART.
This is the way that I create.

Photographing scenes and objects that pique my imagination. The EYE.
Then, altering and combining these images digitally.  The HAND.
Creating an image I feel takes on life force of its own, an expression, a mood. The HEART.

These images are inspired by my walks in wild places and the work of painters
Georgia O’keeffe, Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali and others.
I often pose still life, together with landscape, in an unlikely combination.
These images are composed from driftwood, dried seaweed, shells, bark, roots,
seed pods, clouded sky and birds in flight, overlaid with the beauty of flowers that I
have found growing wild or in my friend’s and neighbor’s yards.
I visualize life, rising out of earth and sea, a blooming flower, rising up, with vivid color announcing its unique spirit, as the bloom unfolds.

This imagery is just around the corner and down the road from reality.   -BB
