This botanical image began as a photograph taken at the lovely gardens and conservatory at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville North Carolina. I have been photographing gardens and botanical landscapes for many years always trying to find a new way to express my experience of being surrounded by nature and beauty. This image is part of a larger portfolio titled Botanical Musings. I tend to rework photographs that I wasn't satisfied with in the beginning to see If I can create something new. I find gardens to be a meditative space and I want to create photographs that also provide a moment for contemplation and calmness. Asheville Spring is a perfect image for spaces that require a focal point to inspire calmness.
