Maureen is best known for her contemporary approach to photographic art, blending classical and modern to create natural and emotional images.  Her work conveys meaning to you as a piece of fine art. Photography as beautiful and timeless as ever yet more intimate…  capturing the beauty of our world and daily life through the lens of her camera. Dancing eyes, the hint of a smile, the touch of a hand, details of a flower, the delicate softness of a new baby….all this and more magically open up to Maureen as she sees with the eye of her camera. Maureen has had a lifelong passion for the art of photography. She employs many photographic techniques to create art pieces from her images.
