Deb Stoner

Using a flatbed scanner as her camera, Oregon artist Deb Stoner captures the intricate details, beauty, and delicacy of flora in the Pacific Northwest. These closeup images combine traditional photography and digital technology to create breathtaking still lifes that highlight the vivid colors and delicate features of each plant. Though the foliage often comes from her garden, her friends and neighbors offer pieces from their own gardens, allowing Deb's art to reflect not only her home but also her community. The 12 details in this calendar of Deb's large-scale photographs, accompanied by artist notes, invite you to experience the seasons in the verdant Willamette Valley.
