“Welcome, fellow creatives, to my Digital Artistry Sanctuary!

Step into my play den where creativity knows no bounds. Here, amidst a kaleidoscope of digital wonders, you’ll discover my passion for artistry unleashed. From Fine Art photography, artistic composites, illustrated characters, and premade eBook covers to the mesmerising depths of Fractal Art, every piece tells a story, whispers a secret, and invites you on a journey filled with wonder, discovery, and boundless expression.

Photography morphs into epic tales, and characters spring to life from the depths of my imagination.

Abstract art fascinates me. It is a domain where mathematics and artistry blend to create breathtaking vistas that defy comprehension. In my humble opinion, Fractal art epitomises abstract art, transcending both 2D and 3D realms. Delving deep into the world of fractals is mesmerising. You never know what you will find! Ultra Fractal and Mandelbulb are 2 products that stand out to me.

In searching for ideas for new fine art and composite techniques, I came across a treasure trove of inspiration and training at Photoshop Artistry with Sebastian Michaels. So, I joined his ‘family’ of creators. Wow, what a ‘library’ of resources and inspiration with exceptional training—where creativity knows no limits and dreams take flight!

Losing myself to this creative process, I began creating little stories around my composites. With this storytelling, I found myself drawn to characters with a ‘difference’—fantasy characters, characters of myth and legend, if you like—characters I could outfit with my imagination. That is when I discovered yet another amazing resource: DAZ Studio, a place to purchase characters and outfit them as you wish. Little did I know at the time how addictive DAZ would become! But what a plethora of characters and scenes to be discovered. All made by very clever 3D artists. DAZ Studio became my muse, breathing life into characters I pictured in my imagination.

Another section of my digital art portfolio is premade eBook covers. It seems my characters from DAZ were just asking to beautify the front of any fantasy eBook. Then again, I have also used pieces from my fractal art as covers. This is a new and challenging portfolio for me, which I hope will grow and develop along my creative journey.
