Cloud 9 (2019) Photography by Dick And Rosanne

Dick and Rosanne have a passion for art, nature, photography and each other.  They each have spent their lives involved in the creative process.  Dick has a BFA and has worked as a ceramic artist, watercolor artist, lapidary artist and photographer.  Rosanne has worked as a weaver, lapidary artist, software programmer, program manager and photographer.  They both are now focused on nature photography. Their most recent collaboration has resulted in the creation of beautiful patterns of nature from their photographic images.

Their photography is a celebration of nature with a childlike sense of wonder. Focusing on the world around them has given them an appreciation of the incredible beauty and power of nature. Most of their pictures are taken in their home and garden.  Their love of nature and passion for photography has led to this body of work.

Being immersed in this environment and appreciating colors and patterns in things both large and small, has led them to create sacred geometry mandala-like images of plants, flowers, and clouds.  The patterns draw you deeper into the image as your mind becomes more engaged with what it is seeing.  You see aspects of nature that would not have been noticed otherwise. Precise attention is placed on discrete elements of the plants enticing the viewer to linger and consider the minute. New patterns and details emerge. New stories are told. New worlds open.

Dick and Rosanne also produce single images. Drawn to enchanting forms, colors, grace and the interplay of light and shadow, they reveal the subject’s personality, expressiveness and mystery.
