I am a founding member of Hera Gallery in Rhode Island and have had multiple group and solo exhibits throughout the country. I have taught drawing and photography. My work has always encompassed organic forms derived from nature. I begin with a photo or a combination of photos. I download them to Corel Painter. I use several programs to manipulate the images: (Corel Painter; Paintsorm Studio; Be Funky, photo editing: and Corel Paint Shop Pro, photo editing. I then print them on archival heavy inkjet paper. I do any needed touch-up work with colored pencils.
