Filoli Gardens Spring 2023

Leo Busscher, photographer I am a costume designer, some would say “of note”, who has worked more than 6 decades in clothing and fabric, mostly in the world of theatre, musical theatre, television, film, and spectacles with production teams in the Netherlands, which was home for close to 60 of my 85 years. I want to thank my husband Joe Francis, who pushed me to work on these photographs from the original flowers, and conceived and created this book to explore the beauty of my photography. Also, I wish to thank Catherine Mackey, my studio mate, who has encourged my work and craft, and whose tables, paint, and brushes are present in many of the images in this site.
