I discovered digital tools for editing my landscapes early in my photography journey, but what really excited me was the potential for creativity, for making something with my mind's eye.
I am a member of several photo artistry groups, including Awake established by US based Sebastian Michaels and his elite international Kaizen group. I'm delighted that my work is published in the Artists Down Under magazine, which features work by photo artists in Australia and New Zealand.
