Cary Loving


My new book: Luminous Botanicals
https://www.blurb.com/b/11640811-luminous-botanicals-cary-loving

All my work looks to nature to find inspiration and images that evoke metaphors and impart lessons about cycles and seasons. There is beauty in tangled thickets and the rampant unruliness of overgrowth, and wisdom to be gleaned from the survivors who seek shelter there.
