I make my art to capture moments of beauty, energy, or emotion that stand out as worthy of remembering, so they aren’t lost in time. I describe my genre as mixed media photography-based digital art. I photograph anything that resonates with & inspires me. My digital photos are the starting point. Sometimes what I photograph represents just the seed of an idea, or the broad outlines of a composition I wish to complete, so the final image may not end up resembling the original photo. My process includes using photo editing & digital art technology to transform it to achieve my vision for a finished piece. I may also employ printmaking techniques, collage, combining photographs, drawing by hand and the use of encaustic paints. I aim to create images that draw in the viewer, elicit emotion, engage the imagination, & intrigue the eye.
