Devotional Art and Book
Are you looking for some spiritual encouragement? Check out my Devotional Art and book in the Gallery Store. I have combined my digital collage art with words that encourage, uplift and help you spiritually. Most of the words are from my book, Spirit and Heart Words to Encourage and Uplift. I have been journaling my prayers and messages from the Lord for many years. I based my book on these prayers and messages. I also have Devotional Art without words in the same Gallery Store. |

Unique Digital Collage Art
Digital collage art that invites you into scenes of surrealism fantasy, imaginary planets or a combination of vintage objects in settings that never existed except in my imagination. Each piece of art in this gallery is original and inspired by natural scenes, things like old buildings, or even a color. See what I have to offer this month by going to the Gallery Store. |

What is digital collage art?
Collage: a technique of composing art by assembling various materials that normally do not go together, like photos, tickets, string, found objects. Digital collage is a modern take on traditional collage using a computer and software. Photos, scanned items, digital papers and digital brushes are all modern counterparts of components used in traditional collage.Just like traditional collage, digital collage is made of many layers coming together in the creation of an original and unique piece of art.

Artist Statement
I had a career as a registered nurse for many years. Encouraging and caring for others was one way of expressing creativity. Another was making items that I sold during the holidays and publishing devotionals taken from my journaling. To illustrate my booklets, I starting taking my own photos and using a computer and software to create art that went with what I wrote.
Then I started using my computer and software to create digital collage art, incorporating traditional artistic techniques in a non-traditional medium. To learn about the software, I take ongoing classes with instructors certified in the software programs I use. I also took drawing, watercolor and acrylic painting classes taught by a professional artist.
Just like traditional collage, I build my compositions layer by layer, blending everything together to make art that is totally different from the original components. My inspiration comes from nature, buildings, vintage art, textures, colors, and words. I love taking components from different photos, textures that I have created from photos, brushes created specifically for digital painting, and unusual colors to create a piece of art that has something to say.
When creating my art, I can get lost for hours developing a visual story. Even during difficult times, I can focus on my digital collage art and not spent time and energy focusing on some things that are out of my control.
