Over the years I have found increasingly that people are losing the art of communication with hungry eyes focused on social media. No longer looking up or communicating freely, too busy looking downwards engaging alone on phones and tablets. We are losing the precious art of engagement with others.

I believe that bringing the outside beauty of the natural landscape inside and harnessing it can have a transformative impact, encouraging mindfulness and supporting wellbeing at home and in the workplace. This led me to wonder if, as a professional photographer, I could create more engagement and connection between people the old-fashioned way, i.e., talking using my photography as fine art.

This led to the creation of my first Fine Art collection called Simply Connecting, influenced by the world around us, nature and the healing powers that I believe nature brings. The collection consisted of twelve unique images, each printed on acrylic in a large-scale format.

Following the success of this first collection I have recently curated a second Fine Art collection – Simply Fleeting. Further developing the idea that when we stop and look around us we can appreciate the smaller, precious details that might otherwise be missed.

The images in this collection were inspired by watching a dancer perform and noticing the flow of a fabric, the muscles that hint at strength beneath the grace.

I want to encourage people to slow down, engage and open a dialogue about these transient glimpses. Exploring the poetry of the moment of movement using my unique perspective in capturing moments of emotional connection that subtly enrich every day.

The Simply Fleeting Photography Exhibition is a study in both movement and stillness, presence and impermanence, sparking curiosity and inviting questions; encouraging visitors to ‘Simply look up’, notice the unnoticed and acknowledge the elements we take for granted.

Both collections are designed to make an impact. I wanted to create visually arresting images as wall art that would help instigate dialogue at home and in the office environment such as reception areas, staff rooms or meeting rooms. These images are all available as BIG pieces for exactly this reason. However, they can be purchased here online printed on high quality giclee printing in either an A3 or A4 mounted format.

I am hosting my currently Simply Fleeting exhibition 15^th – 21^st May 2025 at Art Space, 64 Thoroughfare, Woodbridge before moving to them to display at Dance East for the month of July. You are also welcome to view the whole collection and perhaps choose an image to be printed at a size to suit you. The bigger the better!

I look forward to seeing you. Cherry
