I love that art allows you to escape the monotony and rigidity of life and fully express yourself.
What does exploring life through new lenses open one's horizons and prevents them from becoming complacent with the mundanity of a single viewpoint? When we walk through life in our day to day do we properly take a step back to deeply look into life, or more commonly, do we become lazy and complacent never truly appreciating life’s beauty. I seek to revitalize these landscapes and images which would oftentimes be described as barren or bland by experimenting in Photoshop and altering colors of flowers and different shades among other things as seen in Lawn Flowers. I also created collages to add vibrancy in combinations of flowers and nature in general displayed through Lord of The Flies and Flower Storm . Finally, I have made digital drawings and heavy Photoshop alterations with Digital Flower being an entirely digital drawing while Celestial Beings was a Photoshop reimagining in order to provide the mysticism of space and beyond but on an earthly scale.
