Digital Collage Art
Visual art influenced by scenes in nature, images from the past and a hint of steampunk. The beauty and vastness of space is illustrated in my Heavens Declare series. Every collage in my Gallery is original and comes from my imagination using traditional techniques with graphic software instead of scissors and glue! If you love the unusual, something out of the ordinary, or looking for new possibilities, visit the Gallery to view selections. Details regarding selections can be found there. |

What is digital collage?
Collage: a technique of composing art by assembling various materials that normally do not go together, like photos, things from nature like leaves, and found objects. Digital collage is visual art with a modern take on traditional collage using a computer and software like Photoshop. 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.
Now I use 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,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 visual art that has something to say.
