Sun Valley's own teacher Elissa Greene demonstrates her artistry!

Elissa Greene breathes life into the simplicity of a white flower in contrast with the rich, sultry reds of a wall drenched in color and texture. In this bold piece that is something beyond a still life, her genius for the language of color, design, and space seems to step up to a third dimension, where the artful eye can take solace for a long period of time.

The visual beauty of flowers and color and texture as art can be as varied and splendid as a photographer’s rendition; their idiosyncratic variations and the initiative they put into a conventional composition. This photo speaks to us from a place of immense talent, beauty, pain, and, finally, liberation.

*It would be worth mentioning that last week this particular photo was considered one of the "most interesting" photos on www.FLICKR.com because of its popularity with professional and amateur photographers worldwide.
