COLLAGES
My collages, to me, are more than
just a pretty or clever collection of images. They tell stories. Some are
very personal, some a commentary on the world around me, and some are just plain
fun. So click here to enter this unusual world of my creative mind!

“Tiny Works of Art”
Websites use
“banners” to either display something to attract a visitor’s attention or
are ads. My “Tiny Works of Art” have graced the Les Malamut Art Gallery’s
website for over 4 years announcing its art exhibits, and I’ve also created
them for my Studio ‘L’s Facebook page over the last 2 years.

Jewelry – My
Wearable Works of Art
Visit these galleries
to view my “Digital Gems”, “Poetry for the Body” and my unique necklaces,
pendants and pins made from a variety of materials, such as old belt
buckles, beads, and semiprecious stones, “found objects” or pieces of
outdated jewelry now recycled.

Journey Through Remembrance –
New Jersey 9/11 Memorials
These digital montages grew out of my
desire to see what NJ towns had erected to remember their lost citizens.
Each memorial is combined with images of either the twin towers, the new
WTC1 tower, or the national memorial on Ground Zero. I hope that the
combination of these images speaks a message about that tragic event, and
its ensuing grief, that goes beyond the specific memorial.

Reflections 2
For the images in this gallery I let the original 15 un-manipulated images
of reflections inspire my creativity. Some of these new ones were altered
using Photoshop effects, others became part of an old fashioned paper
collage or of a digital collage, and in another I used markers to create
new images on top of the inkjet printout.

Reflections
These photographs are unique images of various types of reflections
captured totally by using the camera’s viewfinder not by applying
Photoshop!. The photographs have only been
cropped or enhanced for light/dark and contrast. What you see existed in
the real world and not created on a computer…amazing!

Discovering New Jersey
I travel a
lot throughout New Jersey and visit Hoboken, Jersey City, and Union township
on a regular basis. All of these artworks began as digital photographs,
then were enhanced and manipulated in Photoshop, and a few had other media
collaged in afterwards.

Digital Art
My starting point is either a digital
photograph, or a scanned paper collage. Then in a dialog between my eyes
and technology, using Photoshop to manipulate the images, I aim to unlock
the story within the image. Once printed out, some I take a step further by
enhancing with a conventional medium such as watercolor or colored markers.
Each artwork is the result of many experiments, the process is an artistic
delight for me and hopefully the result is enchanting to the viewer.

After the Dust Has
Settled
This collection of images deal with
9/11 and Ground Zero. They are part of a series which eventually will
become a book. I have taken my poems and added images. I call this
"Word Art."
