Having originally studied Textile Design, I worked in gallery management and public relations before deciding to focus on my artwork in 2015.
Digital art enables me to combine my love of photography, print and fine art to create photomontages that capture the imagination and draw the viewer in.
Multiple original photographs from my collection are layered and blended in Photoshop Creative Cloud using a variety of tools and techniques. I experiment with ideas, textures and colour combinations to evoke an emotional response, while the use of intricate detail adds depth and variety to the print's visual poetry.
