Dogwood III

For centuries, dogwood trees in bloom have been among the happiest heralds of spring. Photographer Thea Schrack captures these lovely blossoms in black and white for a vintage-inspired look. Showcase a small print on a gallery wall with your favorite glimpses of nature, or display it at large size to make a fresh, dramatic statement.

• Thea Schrack's talent is best summarized as the ability to reveal the timelessness of beauty. The diversity of her artwork is evident in her client base, which ranges from international fine art galleries to software giants. She spent her childhood days on a Nebraska wheat ranch, gaining a deep understanding of vastness, solitude and the discriminating subtlety of light. Thea was formally educated in Colorado and San Francisco but credits her extensive travels for the ability to capture the similarities that run through diverse cultures over time. The majority of Schrack's works, from panoramic views of San Francisco, to lively scenes of Manhattan Beach, to one solitary, cobwebbed chandelier, hanging from the ceiling of an abandoned Bohemian ballroom, romanticize fundamental components and relay dreamy, detached complexity.
