In her mature work, Berenice D’Vorzon has added an intensely personalized vision of nature and its sexuality and force. She seeks to personally partake of the experience of nature. Her fascination with images of water and particularly swamps has lead her to immerse herself in her subject. She has viewed swamps from every possible angle, from flying above them to traveling over them in a small boat. She has photographed and sketched tirelessly until she has partaken of the essence swamp. The force of her feeling of being within nature that is both beautiful and terrifying has produced a body of work glorious in its color and almost frightening in its rendition.
