With an education in art history and a life-long exposure to artistry and creativity, April is the visionary force behind Natural/Abstract Photography. An award-winning wildflower photographer, she developed her artistic style on the isolated prairies of West Texas as an escape from the halls of graduate school. Today she explores these same plains always in search of those fleeting moments when light and Mother Nature combine to create sheer magic and inspire the soul. Among favored subjects are the wildflower in bloom or not, the abandoned homestead, and the desolate graveyard. With a historian's curiosity of the bygone life and an artist's sensitivity, April records these forlorn scenes, capturing their stories and characteristics through carefully composed images to include the romanticism and memory of the life once lived.

The creative force of Natural/Abstract Photography, Thelma is an award winning fine art photographer specializing in West Texas landscape and black and white photography. She is widely recognized for her ability to capture the emotional essence of place and time within her images. With an fine art background, her interest in photography grew with the discovery of the Lensbaby soft focus lens, where her greatest goal was always to create images that express a sense of whimsy- a sparkle of the inner self, seen through the window of a two dimensional image. But her love of the world and of nature lured her outside into the exciting and rewarding world of the West Texas flat horizon landscape, where her goal remains virtually the same, to capture the essence and emotion of each place.
