The COVID Pandemic
Series
Welcome to my pandemic universe.
Starting in the Summer of 2020 and continuing through Spring 2021 I created
14 digital collages reflecting on the pandemic and my emotional responses
to various aspects of it. 2020 is all about the sadness and pain that crept
into our lives, 2021 is about my personal reactions to living in this “new
normal” and the challenges it presents.

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.

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."
