FEATURED ETSY SHOP - MNH Photography by Deon


I love the nature subjects of this photographer! If we take the time to stop and look closely, there are so many wonderful things to see in this world of ours!! Deon's work certainly captures these wonderful sights, that so many of us don't take the time to notice.

Let's welcome, Deon, and her beautiful photography. You can visit, Deon's shop to see more of her work at MNH Photography on Etsy. The links to her shop and blog will be below this interview.

What led you to start creating your art/craft?

I've always been a nature nut. So, photographing nature in all it's glory just fits. I love being out there with the birds and the animals, in the fresh air, enjoying their world, their way and then bringing it to others.

How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?

Honestly? I have zero ability to draw or paint or portray nature in any other way.

What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?

Being with nature, walking in the woods or old country roads. Seeing the world in a different way and portraying nature in all it's glory.

If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?

An apple. Crunchy and juicy, delicious and oh, so good for you!

If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?

Gee, I don't know. If I could paint, I would love to do that.

What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?

There is such beauty just outside our doors if we would only take the time to look. Whether its a majestic blue bird sitting on a branch, or a piece of ice stuck between two twigs, the world is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Open your eyes and you'll see it every time you walk outside.

What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?

Don't give up. Get out there, let people know who you are and what you do. You're amazing, you just need to let other people know that too!

From one "nature nut" to another...Deon, I love your work! There is nothing more enchanting then getting in tune with nature! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and photography with everyone!
