Photo Abstractions Project

I have always been inspired by strong design elements and my work regularly incorporates this approach. I recently started working with various photo and art tools on my iPad using images taken with my iPhone5s to transform them from reality into a more elemental and at times, more complex representational likeness. The images in this portfolio are the result of that set of processes, which are in a constant state of revision and growth.
