‘Greenhouse Reveries – Plate 6’ by Natalie Finney – fine art photographer – is part of an ongoing series that unfolds within the quiet, enclosed world of the greenhouse – a space of growth, experimentation and wonder. Here, cultivated nature becomes a site for reflection, where childhood reverie and the rhythms of the natural world gently intersect.

The work is created through a layered, tactile process. An analogue photograph is sealed with encaustic beeswax, an ancient medium that introduces surface texture, depth and softness. Delicate butterfly specimens, along with foraged and locally grown flora, are then carefully arranged over the waxed image and re-photographed, producing a final work rich in atmosphere and nuance.

This series is an ode to the fleeting beauty of childhood and the enduring pull of nature. Through a harmonious blend of analogue photography, encaustic process and organic material, the work invites viewers into a sensory, contemplative space – a lyrical meditation on innocence, growth and impermanence.

This artwork is presented as a framed fine art photograph, measuring 54.5 × 54 cm, finished in a black stepped timber frame. Ready to hang.
