Portrait of Catherine

I've heard that finding feathers can mean a spirit is trying to communicate with you from the other side. Feathers seem to just find their way to me. I have quite a collection of them sitting in a little bowl on my coffee table. Are they little messages, I like to think so.  

Earth Angel

digital photo manipulation

This digital montage combines a photo I took of a purple iris, a vintage nun, and various photoshop brushes. My goal was to limit my palette to only the colors within the original picture of the iris. I think she's heavenly.

Make Art Everyday The Digital Way

Making art everyday is not a choice for me. If I don't create something  the images will run through my brain and keep me awake all night. Getting up to my studio is not always an option. By the time I'm ready to start it's time to stop, frustrating to say the least. I've been experimenting with photo montage using my own photographs, scans, photoshop brushes, and a Wacom pen. Who knew such a techno process could be so expressive. A daily dose of Photoshop is the cure for my creative itch, and no mess to clean up.  

The following slide show is from my digital sketchbook including some experiments, some doodles, and some finished work.
