What the World Needs

"What the world needs now is love sweet love" — Jackie DeShannon

Ryder Jones is an artist and designer. He loves growing flowers and painting flowers. His wife, Ophelia, is an artist and photographer. She loves growing flowers and taking photos of flowers.

Billowing silk and flowers in folds, Ryder painted each dress by hand. Flowers echo dahlias, zinnias, cosmos and daisies like the ones in their garden. While Ophelia captures them on film with a longtime friend on a long summer's evening.

Together, they have truly creative and lifelong partnership woven into their work, home, and garden and live in Aotearoa, New Zealand with their young son.
