Artists Down Under – August 2019

(やまだぃちぅ) #1

Tell us a little about yourself and where you live.


I grew up in Numurkah in country Victoria where I still live and work. I have been working for Telstra for the last 34 years.


How did you become interested/get started in Photo Artistry?


I have always wondered how people created those amazing images in magazines, etc., and saw the ad for Photshop Artistry


and signed up. And I had some images I had taken and had an idea that I could create something out of them.


What inspires you or gives you inspiration to create your art?


All the great images that I see in both Photoshop Artistry magazines and other Artists I follow online.


Do you have a certain approach to creating your art?


Primarily I use my images I have taken to try and create a work out of them by combining them and adding different textures/


effects.


What does your art mean to you?


My art gives me great satisfaction in being able to create something that I have visualised and be able to get it to come to


fruition.


Do you think since starting in Photo Artistry it has changed you and if so, how?


Photoshop Artistry has given me the confidence to expand on my ideas and put them out there for all to see.


Is there anyone that you draw inspiration from?


All the great artists in magazines ... to see the many creative ideas that they come up with certainly inspires me when my


creativity is not as I would like it.


Where do you see (or hope to see) your art taking you in the future? What are your next steps?


To keep learning and improving my work to create work that is inspiring to the viewer.
