Virginia Luppino is  a widely-exhibited photographer and landscape designer from Saugerties, NY.  Her portraits of mature grasses make for a compelling argument for the absurdity of mowing lawns.

 

Lush and impressionistic, her sensual photographs embody the easy sway of grasses in wind, while also capturing the clean lines of their natural architecture.

Luppino's plant portraiture reflects her intimate knowledge of the flowers and shrubs that inhabit our landscape. Previously working in a velvety black-and-white palate, Luppino has ventured into the world of color with images from the Cape coasts, the mountains of Sicily and the woodlands of New York.
