Patty Hankins is a fine arts floral photographer. She finds peace and beauty in the natural world and she seeks to capture the simplistic beauty of a flower and share it with the world. She takes her photos in the garden and also in the studio to capture details in the flowers she was never able to share before. In 2002, after achieving a Master’s Degree in Public Policy and History and working for several years as a grassroots activist, she acquired a digital camera and rediscovered her love and passion for photography. This restored passion for photography set her out on her path to a lasting career in photography.
