Blake Heminger

Artist bio

Blake Heminger has developed his style of photography over the past 2 decades. After a career in medicine, Blake turned to photography, concentrating on flowers as his subject and digital as his medium. Blake believes that flowers are open for unique interpretations, a perfect match for his contemporary style photography - a fusion of nature and photography. His floral abstracts are so unique that you can walk into any gallery and identify his work immediately. Blake's photography has been influenced by Georgia O'Keefe, Tony Sweet and Susi Lawson. The alluring beauty, the bright and subtle colors, the intriguing patterns, and the contemporary twist to his images, have earned Blake accolades from Kodak, Nikon, the San Mateo Art Commission as well as the Art Council of Foster City.
