Elizabeth Shatner, wife of actor William Shatner, refers to her body of work as "Art by Nature." Her images of flowers have been compared to the sensuous paintings by renowned artist Georgia O'Keefe. Nature is the foundation for the collection. She discovers the art within the frame (usually macro), and uses digital technology to create the final product on canvas, tile, or watercolor paper. The end result is abstract and resembles an oil painting or watercolor. A gift of yellow roses to her mother inspired one of Elizabeth's early pieces. She examines the heart shape of the flower's pistil, what she calls her "Florshach" test, a play on words inspired by the famous psychological "Rorschach" blot test. Elizabeth's passion is to capture the artistic lines of natural light. She focuses on capturing an image that bestows the feelings of spirituality, well-being, and fun (which matches her personality); and on sharing nature's beauty as gifts to those that view the Art of Nature.
