I'm a photographer/graphic artist of 10+ years, using both skills to create my digital/mixed-media abstract expressionist compositions. My art was born out of wanting to create a different world for my photos to be viewed. Being stuck at home during the pandemic, and not able to make new portraits forced me to experiment with new techniques and ideas to bring this new world to my photos.
