A New Chapter: Fantasy & Nature Imagery

Get ready to close a chapter of your life that isn't bringing you happiness. A new chapter awaits. 

What happens when you manipulate and duplicate a photo of a bridge and flip it around? 

This creates an astonishing, unique piece of work that reminds me of one of those designs you see inside a chapter of a fantasy novel.

Phenomenal Stairway Imagery: The Duplication Effect

An exquisite staircase that caught my attention and held it while visiting one of the National Libraries of France.

I loved the design and architectural structure of this and played with various effects, including cloning, duplicating, and manipulating other elements to add human imagery and a deeper, moodier tone.

Green & Purple Hue Effects at the Walkway

A cool, modern design at the South Coast Plaza bridge calls for a fun project involving a mix of duplication, contrast, and hue effects. Alternating the colors with green and purple shades give extra intensity to the exterior architecture of this walkway.

White Stream of Lights & Cityscape Night Imagery

Tokyo Tower observatory Part II: City traffic dazzles at night from above; the famous Rainbow bridge hides in the background, and the skyscraping buildings soar into infinity. 

Why not add to the shimmer with some streams of light coming from the sky and light blue effects on the cityscape?

Dream Waves: Pink + Blue Skies in Toronto

The view of the ferry as we get closer to downtown Toronto.

The CN Tower stands tall and bright along with the other skyscrapers. I wanted to give this a dreamy effect, utilizing colors from the skies from anime and adding in sparkles throughout the imagery.

Into the Woods: Nature's Blue-Green Enchantment Effect

After the rain, everything sparkles and glistens. The air smells fresher. The sun comes out, brightening our moods and our views.

I loved the peacefulness of this scene and decided to add extra dreamy effects with a mix of blur and blue-green hues.

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.

The Manipulation Effect: Magical Twin Stairways

The Myriad Botanical Garden is everything you would dream of. Tranquil, tropical, and filled with all of nature's surprises. 

Unique plants are tucked into every corner of the conservatory with picturesque staircases throughout. I decided to manipulate this photo by duplicating the stairwell, adding sun flare effects and lightening the tones for a magical twist.

The Reverse Effect: Palm Trees + Pink-Turquoise Skies

One set of palm trees sitting right by the beach at twilight. 

After cloning then reversing the image to create a mirror effect, I altered the skies with contrasting hues and vertical striped lines.

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.

Sparkly Stream of Lights + Midnight Blue Sky Imagery

Reunion Tower Imagery Part II: You can find so much inspiration from the skyline in Dallas. I used the Bank of America Plaza as the focal point for this creation, changing this up drastically with a focus on a dark midnight blue sky and sparkly colorful stream of lights falling from above.

Textured Pastel + Paint Strokes Imagery

Soft pastel colors always create a dreamy, ethereal, and delicate look & feel.

I absolutely love mixing various shades of pastels across digital art creations and wanted to create a piece dedicated to some of my favorite hues in a painterly strokes type-of-fashion.

Silver Blue Nights + Gleaming Lights of Chicago

360 Chicago Part III: Chicago's skyline is still one of my favorites. The colors, the unique skyscrapers, and the river creates the most epic cityscape. 

I decided to add a playful spin to this skyline view, giving it a cooler blue and silver-like tone, adding in a mix of abstract light effects that resemble sparkling glitter.

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.

Colorful Confetti Lights in the Sky: A Night in Dallas

Reunion Tower Imagery Part I: There's so much we can't see with our naked eye when we look at the night sky in a city polluted with lights. But we can always use our imagination and create our own imagery of how we want to perceive the world. 

I love the downtown night views of Dallas, especially with the illuminating lights of the Bank of America skyscraper in the near distance. I decided to manipulate this image by adding in green and purple hues, enhancing the brightness and contrast, and decorating the sky with colorful confetti-like lights that resemble fireworks and a dreamlike reality.

Colorful Lights in the Snow Imagery

I'm always drawn to abstract art, anything with a dreamy aesthetic, and a colorful background. I decided to blend those two together by blurring a bunch of bright lights in the background and decking it with snow imagery throughout the scene.

An Array of Lights: Lanterns in the Sky


I was inspired by all the ethereal lantern imagery out there and wanted to create a digital art piece similar to it. 

I ended up using this photo of lamps hanging from the ceiling and edited it so it looks like "floating lanterns" in the sky. Adding some blur, transparency, and alternating the hues with more purple and pink tones created a special, dreamlike effect.

Landscape Imagery: Pastel Waterfall Dreams

The Multnomah Falls is a classic favorite.

I decided to manipulate this photo a bit, adding in green-blue pastel hues to make it resemble more like a painting. I also incorporated colorful leaves and some human element so it appears I'm stepping "into the scene."
