“Blue Butterfly” is an archival, hand signed and editioned pigment print from a collection of works called “Still Lifes”. While wandering through the woods, camera in hand the artist collects earth objects and evidence of indigenous life in varying degrees of decay. She brings the specimens back to her studio to be photographed individually or used in a photographic assemblage. Angilee’s work reflects upon the subtle and often overlooked beauty and strangeness found in the thickets, grassland prairies and flood plains of the North Texas and Southern Oklahoma region. This work poetically formulates her interpretation of this landscape and the life that inhabits it. Angilee Wilkerson holds a Masters of Fine Arts from Texas Woman’s University with an emphasis in Photography and Paper & Book Arts. She is an artist with an extensive exhibition record, university lecturer of fine art and a professional editorial photographer. Angilee has participated in both international and national exhibitions including seven solo exhibitions and over 40 group exhibitions. Her work has been recognized and honored by jurors from The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, NY; The Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; The George Eastman Museum of Photography and Film, Rochester, NY; The Society for Photographic Education; Aperture Magazine; and many others. In addition her photographs have been featured in fine art journals, editorial magazines, and newspapers, including The Photo Review; Photographer’s Forum; Harper’s & Queen—London; The Wall Street Journal; Photo District News and many others. Active in her community, she is often invited to lead fine art workshops for institutions such as The Dallas Museum of Art, The Arlington Museum of Art and Texas Photographic Society.

"Macro photography is close-up photography of usually very small subjects. The classical definition is that the image projected on the "film plane" (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject.[citation needed]
In recent years, the term macro has been used in marketing material to mean being able to focus on a subject close enough so that when a regular 6×4 inch (15×10 cm) print is made, the image is life-size or larger.[citation needed] With 35mm film this requires a magnification ratio of only approximately 1:4, which demands a lower lens quality than 1:1. With digital cameras the actual image size is rarely stated, so that the magnification ratio is largely irrelevant; cameras instead advertise their closest focusing distance."
