Finch and the Party Crashers

During a historic, rare snowstorm, I set this whimsical tea table in my backyard and waited - bundled in 7 degree F weather - for nature to arrive. One by one, the birds joined the scene, turning porcelain and petals into a playful dance of color, motion, and fleeting winter magic.

About Artist

Patti Gary

I am drawn to the emotional qualities of color, light, and form. My work explores how subtle shifts in light reveal texture, shape, and beauty that might otherwise go unnoticed. I believe art has the power to influence both how we see and how we feel. By finding beauty in the overlooked, I strive to create photographic art that evokes emotion, inspires reflection, and soothes the soul.
