Artist bio

I have spent my life living with an artist/art educator. Her passion for art has been absorbed by me. I taught elementary school students for nine years how to create multimedia projects on the computer. I went home each evening and played with digital images. I took ordinary photos and transformed these images into objects of beauty. Last year, I retired from teaching. I hope to spend the rest of my life sharing my wife's passion in the creation of images from heart and soul.
About the work
Title: Rosary

Art form: 2-D

Medium: Digital Photography

Year created: 2010

Description of work: The day I took this picture was a golden day. I took a walk with my wife in a nearby park. I stopped to take pictures of a stream. I dropped my Rosary into the water. The stream shimmered with beautiful reflections. I took several pictures of the Rosary. All the photos were very different. All were abstract and beautiful. It was difficult to choose just one photo to enter in ArtPrize. I love them all. I chose this photo, because my Rosary outshines all the jeweled shapes that surround it.
