Artist Notes
I got a plant from my daughter full of lovely pink flowers. They were not as big as Gerbera flowers, but looked very much the same. It was called Garvinea. After a while the flowers started to die, and in the process I could see the middle part with the stamens and seeds just grow bigger and bigger until it had the shape of a ball. Quite fascinating. New flowers are coming, but I just had to take a photograph of one of the dead flowers before I cut them away. This time I placed the plant on a chair a couple of meters away from a wall. I then had the perfect background. Natural light coming through a window was the only source of light, and I used a tripod.

avmurray
Avmurray (Annie) was born in Oslo, Norway, where she still lives with her husband. She has always been preoccupied with creative activities. Oil painting has been a favorite for many years. It was actually through working with that, photography came into the picture. In lack of inspiration she started to take photos first, and then paint. In Norway it is not very easy to paint on location, due to weather conditions.
It probably explains her fascination for Greece. A country visited 3 weeks every year. Annie is still working as a senior advicer in a big company, but when it is time for retirement (not too long) more time will be spent in warmer countries.
She is a proud grandmother, and the camera has been used a lot to picture the first years of a human being. Still, it is just the last year that photographing has been one of the greatest interests.
 She is a ranked digital artist and is currently at the #11 spot on this years rankings.  She is a top ranked mixed media photographer and is currently at the #2 spot on this years rankings.
