#NTVArtists: April Showers Bring May Flowers Through the Lens of Kelly Teleglow

We may be stuck in isolation as the cold, damp month of April is giving way to warm, sun-soaked May afternoons, but at least we can begin to enjoy the life that is blooming all around us! As one of my favorite Long Island photographers, Kelly Teleglow, points out there is beauty even in the weediest corners of our lives - from the flowers in our own backyards to random clusters on the side of the road. Hopefully, we can all take a ray of hope from the beach blooms and accented park views that flowers provide. Even a walk around the block is a special thing this time of year and, while the rest of our lives may be in a state of disruption, we still have that opportunity to look forward to each day.

This month’s blog will be another #NTVartists feature; this time around Kelly’s exquisite captures of the flowers we all enjoy on Long Island this time of year and what they symbolize. In the midst of a pandemic, it feels even more fitting to feature Kelly, as I really admire her ability to utilize different perspectives, colors, edits, moods and natural settings to find something extraordinary in everyday experiences -something we all need to try to do with the current limited state of things.
