Course Description
Ready to amplify the dramatic voice of your botanical images? Act II, the standalone sequel to the first Theatre of Botanicals online workshop, charts the emotional journey of your work’s main character: the flower.
Photographer Leanne Trivett S.’s background in theatre gives her the know-how to create dynamic stories, and she invites you to let your imagination run wild and push your botanical images farther than ever before.
As you delve into collage, still life, abstraction, and writing, as well as color and shape, you learn how to add emotion to your images organically and engage with your art in a more personal way.
Class time is spent on looking at the work of inspiring artists, image reviews of participant work, and individual creativity coaching. We also explore sequencing strategies to help you find stronger connections from image to image and to tell a story. Assignments and group sharing allow Leanne to give feedback and guide each participant as we test new ideas and add new ways of thinking to our practice.
Join Leanne to take your images into Act II as you create dramatic florals that soulfully reflect your vision.

about
Leanne Trivett S. is a photographer and visual artist whose work moves between performance and stillness, using florals and self-portraiture to explore identity, emotion, and inner narrative. Her images exist in a space where the theatrical meets the intimate—constructed worlds that invite the viewer to linger, feel, and reflect.
Holding a BFA in Theater from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, Leanne’s foundation in musical theatre and her career as a professional singer deeply inform her visual practice. This performative lineage surfaces through gesture, symbolism, and a heightened sensitivity to emotional tone, allowing her photographs to function as both portrait and performance.
Leanne is best known for her vivid self-portraits and expressive floral work, where color becomes language and the body becomes landscape. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Los Angeles Center of Photography, the Griffin Museum of Photography in Boston, the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA, FotoFest in Karuizawa, Japan, Barcelona, Spain, and PH21 Gallery in Budapest, among others. Her photographs have been published in Shots Magazine, Art Ascent, Black & White Magazine, Dodho Magazine, Artist Talk Magazine, and numerous exhibition catalogs and books.
As an educator and speaker, she shares her creative process in workshops with Santa Fe, while creating in her studio near Asheville, North Carolina. Recent solo exhibitions include The Dual Breath: Inhale Me, Exhale Me, The Woman Colour Built, Navigating in Traffic, and Pisces Dipped in Fantasy – bodies of work that continue her exploration of vulnerability, transformation, and the emotional resonance of color.
