Twisted Architecture: Sign of Things to Come


A twisted skyscraper tower...the first of its kind seen in San Francisco. I remember looking at the construction of this MIRA tower for a couple years and now it's completed and ready for takeover.

Glowing Gold Stars and Sparkle Gradient Imagery


I'm constantly getting inspired by cool magazine layouts and designs and decided to create a dark pink and purple gradient background piece filled with glowing gold stars all around (as seen from one of my favorite mags)! I added in some sparkle effects to really let the stars shine.

Earthy Cherry Blossom Trees at the Tidal Basin


Tidal Basin Part I: Whenever March comes...it means it's time for the start of the wonderful cherry blossom season! The setting sun, cloudy skies, and Washington Monument were the perfect backdrops to the light pink cherry blossom trees in front of us. Best way to end the day.

Golden Gate Bridge's Sunset Glow Effect


Finally a day where we head over to Sausalito and see crystal clear skies without a touch of fog!

I love this postcard-perfect view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco bay area from Battery Spencer. I wanted to give it more color so decided to add in a warm sunset filter to brighten the vibe even more.

The Paper Arch: Gate to the Heavens


Amazing Paper Arch creation made from paper and filled with 3D collages! I loved seeing the variety of designs at the special Art of Burning Man exhibit in the Oakland Museum of California. Such distinctive artwork with its own unique touch, appeal and story weaved into each masterpiece.

Underneath the Sea: Dynamic Glass Art Comes Alive


Chihuly Garden & Glass Part I: All of this is made from glass! It's pretty amazing the things you can create with a little imagination.

Chihuly Garden & Glass is filled with translucent glass art all around. The different sets are inspired by nature and sea life and infused with so many vibrant hues and shapes. The mix of sea creatures combined with the natural landscape really brings everything to life.
