Its nature. Its textures. Its tones. Like her poetry, her photography is delicate, sensitive and sometimes dreamy. She invites us to look close, then closer still, to focus in on details we might otherwise have missed.  From a different angle.  From a new perspective. She is keen to show us the mysterious and captures beautifully the atmosphere, the stillness and the silence of the natural world.   \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKAY RITCHIE, poet and photographer \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen I first saw Barbara’s work it was clear that it was very personal. The beautiful images conveyed a journey that was obviously very important and meaningful to her, and as such they have an authenticity that stands them apart. The images are imbued with a sense of poetry, a sense of an artist searching for something deeper and more profound than a mere record of the landscape around her. The connection between Barbara and the places she explores is shared with us, the viewer, through the sensitive, intricately observed Images she has created. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJAMES HIGGINS, Artist \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-right: 30px; float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/5573\/7238\/files\/BARBARA_SELLARS_1.png?v=1756990386\"\u003eBARBARA SELLARS has loved the natural \u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0.2506px;\"\u003eworld for as long as she can remember; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0.2506px;\"\u003eit has always inspired and comforted her. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0.2506px;\"\u003eSince 2007, she has explored photography \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0.2506px;\"\u003eas a means of expressing this passion, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0.2506px;\"\u003ecapturing moments of beauty – whether it’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0.2506px;\"\u003ethe fascinating form of a tree, the vibrant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0.2506px;\"\u003ebands of metamorphic rock, or dawn on a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: 0.2506px;\"\u003eHebridean beach.
