"I paint in oils, acrylics and experiment with different mediums but when I started to transform my digital images with a click of the mouse, it opened up an entire new world.
Today's technology renders what would have taken me hours if I used paint and brush. It amazes me how quickly images can be transformed into entirely different works of art.
I had fun doing this transformation of myself — my mouse was my wand – professional artist as wizard!"
