Five Beautiful Things

Neighborly Blooms

Photographer Ellen Hoverkamp loves her neighbors. So much so that she frequently tiptoes through their gardens to pluck (with permission!) poseys full of daffodils, peonies, fern fronds and leaves, which she incorporates into her art. Carefully arranging her botanical finds on the screen of a high-resolution flatbed scanner, Ellen scans the compositions to achieve a unique photographic look reminiscent of the Dutch and Flemish still-life painters. There is a book of her work available, as well as matted archival prints. Click here to see more of her work and visit her online shop.
