Art

Welcome to my art. I create both graphic art (logos and map symbols) and digital paintings. I use computer software and mobile apps for my images. Some images begin on the computer and then are fine-tuned on an iPad or iPhone. For others, the workflow goes in the opposite direction, from mobile device to computer.

Art created as a digital painting of purple clouds with the words A Still Small Voice
For this poster design, I used Affinity Design to paint the background in the Pixel Persona and add text in the Designer Persona where I gave the words blur and glow special effects.
