Life-long, I’ve practiced many creative arts. Drawing complex, abstract geometry and sci-fi landscapes, arts & crafts, wood, metal, plastic, carving, forging, costume creation for competition, digital (pc art and video game play maps), photography, videography, and some creative writing. Include world design in table-top role-playing fantasy games.
I photograph wild flora & fauna, landscapes & storms. I use nature and natural materials with trick photography to create surreal images. With AI assistance, I create otherworldly, mythological & fantasy scenes & creatures.
I started exploring & writing about cosmic structure & philosophy in respect to ontology, metaphysics, and epistemology at age 11, going at it for 33+ years! I'm an old soul as well, which helps... with everything!
* It's funny how I went from a mind full of surreal/multidimensional subjects that I could not put words to, to have grown & learned to do the reverse - use articulation to create expressions with AI art!
In 2023, I went into online photography sales, expanding into promptography digital art (AI generator) to match a collection of my own captions of humor and philosophy. I was thrilled! It was like a missing part of myself, complimenting my vast and multi-dimensional imagination. The online business failed, but my art practice is enduring!
[ update: July 2025, I had to close my business due to everything from finance, inadequate advertising, and due to anti-A.I. individuals (sabotage) within Meta and Wix. ]
I have a forestry & wildlife conservation degree, and commune with Nature as often as I can. It has been my inspiration for evolving my photography / videography (editing) skills over my lifetime.
