SUNOGRAPHY
A quick introduction to Sunshine’s macro flower photograpy. In 2011 seven of her photographs were chosen to be a part of The Bellagio Hotel and Casino $70 million guest room remodel. Her photographs are in the guest hallways on floors 4-28. A year later, the new Spa Tower also features her photographs in its guest hallways as well.
