The Gateway Arch of St Louis, Missouri

The monument that defines St Louis. 

It was quite the experience going up the narrow arch, with a small, tight tram that only fits a few people (a cozy couple of minutes ride) offering sweeping views of downtown St Louis from the top observation deck.

Taking Over the World: The Glass Floor Effect

The enthralling details and glass designs at Harpa Concert Hall continue to inspire.

What if we convert the glass window panels into glass floor?

I manipulated this image by cloning and rearranging the glass panels to create transparent, angular floorings and an all over glass effect.

Modern Architecture: The Glass Stairs Effect

Stunning interior design and architecture can be found at the Harpa Concert Hall. The glass window panels give a modern, abstract, and futuristic twist to the scene.

I decided to manipulate the image by flipping it around and altering the position. All of the cool angles turn this into silver, shiny glass stairs (so why not just walk on it?)

Contemporary Stairway at the Art Gallery of Ontario


Have to say this is the coolest museum staircase ever. 

I captured its magnificent angles, colors, and textures by zooming in and out, allowing the light to lead the way and transform the mood of each photo.

A Thousand Layers: Astounding Interior Architecture

Strolled through the streets of Toronto and stumbled upon this astonishing plaza--it is filled with steel and glass, and super tall ceilings revealing the atrium. This design is said to be reminiscent of a country road lined with maple trees.

The amount of light and orientation of the sun in the sky changes the mood of this place, creating one-of-a-kind photos and new memories each and every visit.

Harpa Concert Hall's Impressive Architecture & Design

Astonishing interior design inside at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik. 

Shielding ourselves from the wind storm outside, we stand inside marveling at the one-of-a-kind art inspired by Iceland's geography, surrounded by layers of glass and basalt column outlines.

Faded Hexagon Art: Pastel Bubbles Background Effect

Fun background designs, faded effects, and soft yet bright, pastel colors continue to awaken our senses. 

I was inspired by the creative, painterly digital art from a manga and had to create my own rendition of it, infusing my favorite colors and blending in different textures.

Life in Black & White: The Cliffs of Reynisfjara Beach

Black Sand Beach Part II: The sharp ridges, edges, and textures of the cliffs come alive on this day as we battle against wind and rain.

The gloomy overcast sky surprisingly creates the ideal atmosphere.

Crashing Onto Shore: The Black Sand Beach

Black Sand Beach Part I: It's like straight out of a black and white movie. 

You don't exactly think of going to a beach on a grey, dreary, drizzling afternoon. But the black sand and cliffs create such a moody, evocative contrast against the white sky as the strong waves crash onto shore.

Blue Fantasy: When in the Mountains Imagery

Roaming in the wild...anything is possible.

When you're close to 10,000 feet above ground level, you feel quite invincible. I had a bit of fun with this image, using the railings, glass reflections, and blue hues of the sunset sky to create this imagery. Duplicating the photo, adding human elements, and some sparkly effects create an enchanting, unusual image.

Pastel Beauty + Sky Elements at Oklahoma State Capitol


Was enamored by the colors, the details, and the nature elements of the dome at the newly designed Oklahoma State Capitol.

The pastel colors, cirrus cloud paint strokes, and bold patterns make this a true vision to behold.

Skydance Bridge at Scissortail Park: Cutting-Edge Designs

Skydance Bridge Part I: Just keep on dancing and glowing. 

This one-of-a-kind art sculpture sits on top of a pedestrian bridge and can be seen on the freeway right below! An abstract creation that resembles a pair of scissors with a cool, cutting-edge look, adding to Oklahoma City's spectacular art scene. 

The vibrant orange color on this sculpture also gives striking resemblances to Tokyo Tower's orange-colored lights at night.

Pastel Bubbles Background: The Card Frame Effect

Pastel Bubbles Part IV: Ethereal, magical, dreamy, and colorful digital art always captures my attention.

I used an existing pastel bubbles background creation and altered it some more, adding in a yellow-tinted hue and incorporating borders to give it the card frame treatment.

Looking into Infinity: Exquisite 3D Flower Art + Design

This stunning 3D flower was one of my favorite pieces at the Nick Dong exhibit at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The intricate details, mirrored glass art that looks into infinity and beyond, sharp designs and eye-catching colors make it a true standout.

High Museum of Art: Interior Architecture & Reflections

The High Museum of Art may have a wide collection of historical paintings, but the interior and exterior design of the building is completely modern. The walkways present the right opportunity to capture the exquisite architecture from top to bottom. As the light continues to shift throughout the day, the reflections add an extra dramatic flair to the scene.

Yayoi Kusama's Infinite Love art series are nothing short of amazing. 

This unique mirror piece filled with abstract inflatable objects across the room creates fascinating visuals and surreal viewpoints from all angles and dimensions. 

We truly are small dots in this world, combined together to create endless possibilities.

Circle of Life: Abstract Clouds in the Sky Imagery


No cloud is exactly alike. It continues to change and evolve, just like life. 

I was inspired by a really cool cloud formation as it was nearing sunset in the mountains and decided to manipulate the picture by creating clones of it and creating abstract art that resembles clouds that cycle in a circle in a fiery, feathery design. Adding extra faded bubbles and pastel hues add on the dreamy vibes.

Mesmerizing Pulse Topology + Interactive Art Display

"Pulse Topology" is a transformative piece of interactive art by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, composed of thousands of light bulbs suspended at different heights that create a series of crests and valleys. The streams of lights evolve every step of the way, changing based on someone's unique heartbeat, the amount of heartbeats in the room, and created to resemble the ups and downs of a real life cardiogram.
