Digital Whispers of Artistic Souls - New Book

I am so excited to announce a new book available from Blurb. It's called Digital Whispers of Artistic Souls and it's gorgeous! I have several pieces and some text in it....order it here.

Digital Whisper January Banner #3

Here is the 3rd banner I created for Digital Whisper this month. It's a great group of digital artists with interesting challenges. Come on over and check it out!

Digital Whisper January Banner #2

This is actually the first banner I created....ever! I found it difficult to work on such a strange size canvas but once I got going with the images, it worked itself out. If you are interested in being challenged digitally, come check out Digital Whisper; it's a great group!

Digital Whisper Banners

I created four banners for Digital Whisper this month. Here's the first one, more to follow! If you love creating (or viewing) digital art...come on over and take a look around!

Happy New Year!

Poppy Fields Forever

A gentle reminder for 2011...

Urban Exploration

Yahoo posted an article about Urban Decay and I was inspired to create this piece. I love the haunting photos in the article but I do think Urban Exploration is a bit more whimsical. Enjoy your trip!

Create Bliss

Created for a "depth of field" challenge on Digital Whisper which required using lots of shadows. I also focused on creating movement, which is how an artist moves the viewer's eyes throughout the piece. Totally fun! Enjoy!

Have a Magical Halloween!

I decided to try out a monochromatic color scheme for this piece. Hope you enjoy it!

Rest in Peace Marie!

A combination of images from my recent trip to New Orleans along with model stock from Mizz D.

Stylish Surreal Portrait

I just had fun with a new Digital Whisper Challenge using the tutorial found here. It was written for Ph0t0sh0p and I use PSE8 so I had to work-around a few steps but I still learned a lot! Everyone agreed that the whole project took more than the time stated on the tutorial but I will definitely use this process again. This is the original image I used from Katanaz-Stock.
And here is the finished art! :-)

Digital Whisper

Visit Digital Whisper
A few months ago, I joined a community of digital artists that are inspiring, challenging, educational and supportive. The group is called Digital Whisper and while the group is invitation-only, I would be happy to invite you if you are interested in stretching and growing your digital art skills. Kimmie, the group leader asked what digital whisper meant to me...my reply was, “A whisper is something I keep inside, deep down in my soul, at the very core of my being...and when I create art, I share that part of me with others. Not everyone knows my secrets and I don't have to share my story if I don't want to...but in my art...my secrets are shared but not everyone will hear them.” What does "digital whisper" mean to you?

Four Eyes

Another mixed media/digital art collage...All the elements are from original mixed media art I created, scanned, then mixed together digitally. Fun?

...nuff said!

I Might Leave Marks

I'm sorry, I just can't help myself sometimes; I might leave marks!

Destination Unknown

I am beginning to experiment by using some of my mixed media art pieces as elements or backgrounds in my digital work. Do you like it?

Circus Raven

OMG, I love this model! She is extraordinary to look at and a joy to work with. Do you notice anything unusual or unexpected in the collage?

Caffeine Dreams

This is one of my absolute favorite creations...you know how when a piece just falls into place and you like the elements, the colors, the images, and the effects? Well, this is one of those collages for me. If you would like to purchase a coffee mug with this design on it, it is available at the Digital Whisper Cafe Press store, found here. It's only $12.99 and the profits go to help support the DW annual fees.

Angel I, II, and III

Okay, I was obsessed with these doll heads for a while but I've moved on now! LOL
