My approach to photography is very much influenced by writers, poets and painters, and I especially love the work of Georgia O’Keefe and Edward Weston. I want the beauty of the natural world to be captured in my photos and I want to show the details that we easily overlook in daily life. It is common to see flowers in a garden, and there is much to admire in a well laid out garden. But, to me, the essence is in often in the details of the individual flowers - the slowly opening petals of a rose; the colors and flair of a calla lily blossom; the dewdrops on the petals of a dahlia. These are the images that excite me to make my photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"November AMS Exhibition 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67789309051182,"sku":null,"price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/8101\/files\/Hennessy_Tom_ButterflyWing__190_1.jpg?v=1792623861","url":"https:\/\/www.crossroadsartcenter.com\/products\/hennessy-tom-title-butterfly-wing","provider":"Crossroads Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
