Fairy Art Flashback

Today I’m revisiting a couple pieces of Digital Art I
created during the early development of my senior show collection at MSU.
Ultimately I created a Mythological Portrait series, which these pieces were
not a part of, but I still enjoyed these two and hope to someday develop this
from just a set to a series.

Originally, I shot both of these images during a vacation in
Los Angeles. I thought these places were so beautiful that they were excellent
choices as back-drops for my In Plain
Sight idea.

In Plain Sight is
about appreciating beauty in our world and the ability to allow that beauty to
inspire our imaginations. I think as we become adults, it becomes more difficult to allow ourselves to think creatively and push boundaries of imagination, so in a way these works are also a challenge. They are a challenge not to let the world close us in and not to lose sight of the importance of how the beauty of our everyday lives inspires beauty in our thoughts.

This brings me back to my signature quote that I try to remember everyday:

To imagine is to spark beauty in our thoughts.
