In Sensual Harmonies Tom Potter’s unique portrayals feature the female figure and musical instruments. New forms were created by the use of light and parallel lines to produce the final interpretation. These are delicate images that speak of the sensitivity that embraces the quiet peace and fluidity of the female form. Claude Cookman, Professor of the History of Photography and Visual Art at Indiana University wrote an insightful interpretation in the preface to Sensual Harmonies.

Wild Harmonies features a variety of artistic interpretations of floral and related botanical subjects. Gayle’s photographs, rich in line, texture, and light, bring new interpretations to the unique beauty of Nature’s plant kingdom in all seasons. The text accompanying many of the images includes selections from the inspiring words of Henry David Thoreau.
