A Study of Close-up Nature, exploring textures & colors, and how the two combined create an emotional atmosphere. When viewing these pieces, ask yourself what you can find in the textures and what feelings emerge.
Title: Apocalypse Completed: January 2023 Medium: Digital Art Subject: Leucadendron (Conebush) 'Apocalypse' represents a future created by ignorance and chaos. We are led to destruction and bloodshed; crooked ruins in a still and lifeless world. Nature encompasses all things living and the planet we exist on. Even through death, we can still find beauty. But through catastrophe, we can only find the end.
Title: Hope Completed: February 2023 Medium: Digital Art Subject: Chamelaucium (Wax Flower) Whether you associate wax flower with good luck, lasting success and wealth, or happiness and new beginnings, it is a beautiful little piece of nature. Both in appearance and aroma, this shrub offers a delicate sweetness that is hard not to love. 'Hope' was named for its warmth and light, attempting to bring the same to its viewers.
Title: Carnival Completed: March 2023 Medium: Digital Art Subject: Dianthus Caryophyllus (Carnation) Between Mardi Gras & St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to create something that exudes nothing but happiness, energy, and a damn good party.
