How has your account been progressing since then ?
It ’ s been two and a half years since I opened my account . I have been featured many times by Instagram hubs , as well as having my work published on TheAppWhisperer . In that time , I ’ ve transitioned to using a DSLR for better resolution in some shots , and continue using my mobile device for instant captures . My dream is to continue to grow as a photo artist , network with people in the industry and learn from them . You mentioned that you used to draw , do you still partake in other artistic mediums or are you strictly a digital artist now ?
I would describe myself as strictly a digital artist . However , I do draw directly onto my photographs . I use the Art Set app for editing . It supplies me with pencils , markers , paint and blending tools in an array of colours . I enhance almost all my photos by freehand drawing directly onto the images . I am grateful that even in the realm of digital art , I am able to maintain my skills in drawing . How would you say the art world has changed since you re-entered the scene ?
Art has evolved so much in the past 30 years ! I would say that technology plays a big role in that change . Art used to be recognized as drawings and paintings that follow a certain formula . Now there are no rules ! You can mix different mediums and create new art . Everything in the art world has become less conventional and more controversial . I could never have envisioned myself doing this type of art . It ’ s become so accessible so quickly , it was easy to create it . It would be hard to conceive of this thirty years ago . Q ) Do you now find yourself more supported as an artist in your second coming ?
A ) Yes ! I ’ m overwhelmed by the support I ’ ve received since I started doing digital art and mobile artistry . I feel like I not only found a community but a family that is kind and inspirational . Their support encourages me to give more of myself . It ’ s important to support all new artists and I hope to pay it forward and help inspire new and upcoming artists . You mentioned that your images are all inspired by your emotions . Do you feel as though that offers you an endless well of creativity to draw from ?
There are days where I struggle with expressing my emotions but I don ’ t believe it ’ s because of a lack of creativity . As a mother , I sometimes find it hard to wind down and tap into my emotions . But once I ’ m there , the creative juices flow . I ’ m constantly reinventing a new process to represent how I ’ m feeling . This allows me to flourish as an artist and offer something variant to my viewers . How do you prioritize your dreams and ambitions now ?
My dreams and ambitions are fairly high on my list of priorities . There comes a time in your life when you realize that you ’ ve given so much of yourself to others that now it ’ s time to reclaim yourself . This is my time . I plan to seize every opportunity to achieve my dreams !
