The art which matters most naturally emanates from the Beauty of trees, plants, forests, birds, bees and other Natural Wonders.
We must receive a holistic understanding of how Life functions. For example, how can society expect people to grow up to protect old-growth forests and other endangered ecosystems if they haven’t been taught critical life lessons about the intricate inner-workings of Life?
How do we learn?
How do our actions reflect existence?
We appreciate Nature when we observe Nature. To solve a problem, we must ask the difficult question which will most assuredly return the answer which we find painful or hard to accept.
Yet, having asked the difficult question and having realized the consequences of its corresponding answer, we grow through the growing pains and become wise. Having become wise, we are then able to effect change for a better existence.
For me, protecting botanical species and Old-Growth Forests is as vital as the air we breathe.

I am an ardent lover of birds, bees, butterflies and trees. I enjoy observing bio-diverse interactions which serves as inspiration for my artistic expressions. I utilize a vast array of techniques and poetic styles to create my art – all of which are top secret.

Interesting Notes regarding the flowers photographed by Timothy:
Lantana by Timothy
The vibrant, multi-colored cluster in this capture is Lantana (Lantana camara). These plants are famous for their “umbel” inflorescences—circular clusters of small flowers that often change color as they mature, creating the yellow, orange, and pink mosaic you see here.
Indian Hawthorn by Timothy
This specimen is the Indian Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis indica). These are hardy evergreen shrubs frequently used in landscaping. The flowers typically feature five petals and range from white to pink, appearing in dense clusters during the spring.
Princess Tree by Timothy
This image displays the blossoms of the Princess Tree (Paulownia tomentosa), also known as the Empress Tree. It is known for these large, fragrant, trumpet-shaped purple flowers. A distinct feature is the velvety, suede-like texture of the flower buds and calyxes, which are visible in your photo.
Passion Flower by Timothy
This complex and intricate bloom is a Passion Flower (Passiflora). These vines are easily identified by their unique structure: a wide base of petals and sepals, topped by a “corona” of thread-like filaments, and a prominent central structure containing the reproductive organs.
