Madelaine Shellaby is well known for her beautiful concepts of nature. She has an exceptional eye for arranging and capturing with clarity the breathtaking beauty and character of plants and stones. She scans flowers, roots, and leaves into the computer from the garden and woods of her surroundings. She may exaggerate and fictionalize her images, but she never loses the true essence of their nature.
