Bio: Trained as a painter, graphic artist, and photographer, Ann Parker holds a BFA degree from Yale University. For the past decade she has been experimentaing with a new imagery that is artistically and technically a dramatic change from her former photographic career. She calls this new body of work Botanical Metamorphics. Without using either film or camera, she passes light directly through fruits, flowers, and vegtables. When projected onto color sensitive paper, the resulting photograms reveal the inner essence of plant life with extraordinary clarity. Parker says, "I am reaching into the very center of familiar plant life and presenting my discoveries in a compelling and contempory graphic manner.I want viewers to imagine they are bees, intimately

 

exploring deep inside the fruits, flowers, and vegetables that I have chosen to depict. I strongly believe that what I am doin gis valid botanical recording presented with a new and different technique. Although I crafted these to be looked at as fine art, they also give an extraordinary amount of scientifically correct information." Over the past decade she has had fifteen major one person exhibitions of her work and represented in the United States, Europe, and Australia.
