Pat D'Aversa

I have spent all of my working years as a Registered Nurse in hospital nursing and this career has taught me to stop and smell the flowers. In the past 20 years I have pursued my love of photography by taking courses, workshops and working in the field. In 1998 I joined a camera club and discovered my fierce competitive nature! The film camera eventually gave way to the instant gratification of the digital world. My photography has evolved from snapshots to floral portraits and much of my early work has been macro photography of flowers. I think the flower is one of the most sensual of creations and I have strived to present it as such. I view each flower as an individual with distinct character, drawing the viewer into the photo with a sense of its fragrance and the feel of its petal. I think I have been able to portray the sensual beauty of the flower. Some of my newer work has become more abstract as I enhance some work with applications in Photoshop. I also enjoy doing portrait work, landscape and nature photography
